The air was crisp, the sun barely peeking over the horizon, casting a soft golden glow over the field. The sky above was painted in gentle shades of pink and orange, signaling the start of a new day.

He placed his hands on his hips, staring down at the ground, his chest rising and falling with the effort of his run. A fine sheen of sweat clung to his skin, but it wasn't the physical exhaustion that weighed heavily on him. It was something deeper.
