Eli and Tad spend a long, uneasy day trying to function like normal people while their losses keep tugging at the edges of everything they do. Eli leans on an old contact for answers he can’t safely ask out loud, then follows a set of instructions that feel less like help and more like a test. Tad, meanwhile, buries himself in routine to keep his mind from spiraling—only to realize that the “breakthrough” he’s been waiting for might come with strings attached. As rain rolls in and night settles over the Twin Cities, both men are pulled toward rendezvous points that weren’t their idea… and a growing sense that someone else has been watching their grief turn into obsession.
