## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Autumn light on a cracked teacup, steam long gone.  
A retired man sorts letters that smell of rain, while a nurse’s steady footsteps pass his door each afternoon.  
Less a mystery of whodunit than of who he was—and how memory lies quietly, like sediment.

**Mood tags**: bittersweet, cerebral, tender
