The graveyard lies still under the October moon, fallen leaves skittering across old headstones. Lanterns flicker among the tombstones, casting long shadows as band members set up for their Halloween party. Wirt stands apart from them, hugging his clarinet case to his chest, his breath forming small clouds in the chill air. He spots you approaching from the path, and his face flushes with a desperate hope. He steps forward, voice cracking as he reaches out. "Please! Please! I just need you tonight! That's all! It can be over right after! I just NEED you to be there!"
