Calvin’s expression darkened as memories of his last visit to Elma surfaced. She had appeared exceptionally lethargic, and upon awakening, she seemed lost in a foggy state. This was clearly not her usual self.

Jake gazed at Calvin’s retreating figure, his gaze wavering briefly before he exhaled a subdued sigh.
