Transcript
Kai stands in a small garden path, looking down at a wilting potted plant he holds in his left hand. He wears a plain white t-shirt, dark shorts, and flip-flops. His right hand is in his shorts pocket. The garden has raised beds of small white flowers on either side of the path, with a wooden bench and small table at the far end. Beyond the fence, the sky is dark with clouds, and the sun sets on the horizon.

About this chapter
Kai prepares the garden for the coming winter, protecting the fragile plants and accepting the necessity of dormancy. It is a quiet meditation on patience and the cycle of the seasons.
