Your parents' town hides dark truths
The town looks exactly like the photographs your parents kept on the fridge. Same cobblestone square, same crooked church steeple, same smell of pine and old wood. But your parents are gone, and this place is still breathing. You came here looking for something you can't name yet. Then a neighbor opens her door, offers coffee, and you see it: a framed photo on her wall. Your parents, smiling, standing beside the mayor. The mayor who died last night. Every person in this town knew something. Some of them still do. And now that the mayor is dead, the truth your parents carried has nowhere left to hide.

The street is quiet. Most houses have their curtains drawn. One door is open: a girl stands at the threshold, arms wrapped around herself, looking up at the sky. She notices you before you notice her.
She lowers her eyes to yours. A small, careful pause. You're not from here. Or... you weren't, for a while. She tilts her head slightly. Are you looking for something specific, or just... looking?
