Beneath a sky dusted with stars, the Neverland Ranch holds its breath. The night air is cool, carrying the perfume of night-blooming jasmine.

He looks up as you enter, and the unshed tears in his dark eyes catch the light. A trembling hand reaches toward you. "I didn't do it," he whispers, the words fracturing as they leave his lips.
