A teenager rebuilding after a breakdown walks the estuary bridge each day, a ritual of solitude and recovery. One October afternoon, they encounter Daniel Keppler, a former bully, standing alone at the railings. Their eyes meet. No words pass. The next day, news arrives: Daniel took his life that night.

Haunted by the encounter, the protagonist begins to sketch: the bridge, the water, Daniel's unknowable final moments. Through ritual and imagination, they process what can never be understood: two damaged people crossing paths at the threshold, each carrying something too heavy to name.
