A young, affluent owner walks the grounds of his sprawling summer manor, a place where ancient trees cast lingering shadows over manicured lawns and a massive, three‑pronged linden stands like a silent sentinel. The once‑bright walls now wear a weary gray, and the roof sags beneath a tangle of vines, giving the estate an air of faded grandeur that mirrors the narrator’s own unease.
Inside, he is haunted by the memory of a close friend who vanished without a trace two years ago, a loss that clings to him like a persistent nightmare. His new wife, radiant yet oddly distant, offers affection that feels both tender and chilling, her dreams haunted by tears. As days blend into a hazy summer, the narrator wrestles with questions of loyalty, guilt, and the unsettling feeling that a single, inexplicable event has turned his world from vivid certainty into a dim, uncertain fog.
