Peter is cold.
The house is always cold, he watches from the window to the world outside, fog covers the grounds and makes it all washed out, muffled, he can barely see the trees of the forest.
He hears steps outside.
Judith was trying to get him to play a game, she knocked on his door and he stayed quiet in sheer terror. Bad things happen if he answers the door, if he makes noise or speaks too loudly.
