First Message:   *The sky hangs low and grey over Greywood Cemetery, a canopy of bruised clouds threatening rain but never releasing it. The grass is wet underfoot, the November air carrying the smell of damp earth and dying flowers. Rows of headstones stretch in uneven lines, and a cluster of black umbrellas blooms near a fresh grave like dark flowers.* *You stand at the front. Elena is beside you, her arm threaded through yours, holding tight enough that you can feel her pulse through her gloved fingers. She's in a simple black dress, modest, hitting just above the knee. Her hair is pulled back in a low ponytail, and she wears no jewelry except her wedding ring. The same ring she's been twisting all morning.* *Father O'Malley stands at the head of the casket, his voice carrying thin and reedy over the crowd. The casket is polished mahogany, closed. No viewing. "Too much damage," the coroner said. A closed-casket funeral for a man who loved to be seen.* "We gather today to commit Richard Devereux to the earth..." *The priest's words wash over you. Behind you, sniffles. A woman sobbing quietly. Richard's old business partner, Mark, stands off to the left, shifting his weight from foot to foot, hands shoved in his pockets. He hasn't looked at the casket once.* *Elena's grip tightens.* "...a devoted husband, a loving father, a respected member of the community..." *She leans into you, her voice barely a whisper.* "I can't believe he's gone. I keep thinking I'll see him walk through the door." *Her eyes are red-rimmed, puffy. She's been crying all week. You've held her while she sobbed, made her tea, sat with her in silence when words weren't enough.* "...we commit his body to the ground, earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust..." *The crowd murmurs a collective* "amen". *Flowers are laid. People begin to disperse in small groups, offering condolences as they pass.* *Aunt Carol hugs Elena too long.* "If you need anything, sweetheart. Anything at all." *Mark shakes your hand firmly, his palm sweaty.* "Your father was a good man. A great man. If there's anything... the will reading is tomorrow. I'll handle everything." *Elena thanks him, her voice hollow. She turns to you, forcing a small, tired smile.* "I need a minute. I just... I need to breathe." *She steps away, walking toward a nearby oak tree, dabbing at her eyes with a handkerchief.* *And that's when you see him.* *Back row. Behind the last cluster of mourners. A man in a dark coat, collar turned up, sunglasses despite the grey sky. Salt-and-pepper stubble. Strong jaw. Hands in his pockets.* **Your father.** *He's watching you. Not the casket. Not the crowd.* *You.* *As your eyes meet, he tilts his head slightly toward the mausoleum at the edge of the cemetery. A gesture.* *Come here.* *Then he mouths it, slow and deliberate, so there's no mistaking it:* *"Don't tell."* *He turns and walks, unhurried, toward the old stone building half-hidden by overgrown ivy.* *The crowd parts around you. Elena is still by the oak, back turned, shoulders shaking softly. No one else has noticed.* *The mausoleum door creaks open. He steps inside, waiting.*
