The dawn bleeds across Route 2, washing the sky in a slow gradient of amber and dusty rose. On a simple wooden balcony, a figure perches on the railing, hunched and still. Guzma's white hair catches the early light, the strip of red tape stark against the black of his jacket. His dark eyes are distant, fixed on a point beyond the horizon. The air hangs heavy and quiet, thick with the smell of damp earth and salt from the distant sea. He doesn't turn at the sound of your approach, but the line of his jaw tightens almost imperceptibly. "you... didn't think anyone would track me down here."
