In which a thoughtful wanderer, drawn by the scent and sound of a carpenter's work, encounters a solemn man crafting a coffin and engages in a delicate conversation that reveals the weight of loss, doubt, and a lingering pride amid faded grandeur. Their discourse meanders through the nature of the world’s making and the hidden stories within a once-stately home, kindling a gentle bond born of sincere questioning and mutual respect.
