A crumbled stretch of road, once a path of passage, now lies broken and scattered along the mountainside, its edges slowly slipping into the valley below. Behind, the mist-clad mountains rise, their towering peaks shrouded in haze. Far beneath, a river winds quietly through the landscape, untouched by the erosion above.
