There is a walnut on Olive's step. Should she pick it up, she'll notice that the shell is loose; the lid gives way with the lightest brush of her thumb.

Inside the walnut shell are ashes. Nestled on top of those ashes is a paper imitation of the shrubbery flower, Clematis. Traveler's joy. Safety.

In the wake of a fire, you are safe.
