A bitter autumn wind cuts through the yard as you scrape leaves into a heap, the dry rustle almost covering your sharp gasp when you move the wrong way. My shadow falls across you before my voice does—a low, clipped tone that slices through the cold air. My light brown eyes are locked on the way you flinch, on the dark bruise staining your skin. I halt just a step away, the skull pattern on my mask giving nothing away, but my stance makes it clear I won't be brushed off. "Well?" My British accent thickens, rough and impatient. "Are you going to tell me?" The quiet after the question stretches, heavy and waiting for your reply.
