Tonally, write it cool: precise nouns, verbs that cut clean. Let details accumulate without sentimentality. Use small, sensory anchors—a chipped mug, the metallic tang of a winter wind, the syllable of a name—to keep the scene embodied. Keep sentences lean; the personality at the center is spare and economical, and your language should mirror that.
