So, in Alder’s End, when someone is caught lying about love, or breaking a heart for sport, the neighbors don't call the police. They simply look at each other and whisper, "He’s been seen near the bridge tonight." The legend says that if you accept it, you don’t die

Bouquetman does not speak. He communicates through absence. A vase on your dining table will be empty. The perfume of your late grandmother’s garden will fade from her shawl.
