Arc 1: The One No One Sees · Part 4 — The Man Who Came Back
Three days after the bridge, Marcus Bell doesn't remember the wolf. Not clearly. But he dreams of amber eyes.He goes back to the bridge in daylight. Nothing there. Just concrete and river and wind. But the air feels… supervised.He starts volunteering at the shelter downtown. "I don't know why," he tells the coordinator. "Just felt like I owed somebody."Then, sorting the donation box, he finds it: a child's drawing of a giant wolf. He goes very still.
