Luna hears a story from an old game warden named Conley about a stretch of gravel road in Schoharie County called Moseley's Crossing — a place where, for three nights every October, a single headlight appears on the empty road at exactly 2:17 a.m. Conley worked the Crossing for thirty years. He knew the history: a 1971 night, a boy on a dirt bike hit by a logging truck, no surviving witnesses, no reason for the truck to be on that road. But the light doesn't match the bike. It's bigger, lower, slower. Conley describes the night he followed it — not with his truck, but on foot, into the woods where the light moved through the trees without a shape holding it. He tells Luna what he saw reflected in the creek, and what he found the next morning. Luna walks the road herself at the end of the season, waiting for the light. She sees it. And she follows it, just past the curve, to where the road ends.
