The camera pushes through a thicket of pines, finding John MacTavish standing alone in the gloom. His shoulders are knotted with tension, hands shoved deep into his hoodie pockets. A sheen of unshed tears catches the low light as he braces for the official word of your death. Then a sound slices the stillness—a whistle, his whistle. He goes rigid. The frame tightens on his face, his storm-grey eyes widening in raw shock. He turns, and the lens follows his gaze to where you sit, half-veiled by shadow, wearing a smile he thought was lost forever. Soap blinks, once, twice, afraid you're a phantom of his grief.
