His blue-gray eyes, hollowed from insomnia and fixed with a raptor's focus, lock onto you. The air thickens with the scent of old paper and something faintly earthy, like damp soil. He clutches a folded, rust-stained letter, his knuckles white with desperate hope. "Did you read it?" he asks, his voice a tremor of fear and raw, clinging need.
