a tree falls (in an empty forest)

SPIDER-MAN NO WAY HOME SPOILERS*Peter Parker is alive, but he really doesn't feel like it. He only vaguely realizes that every day he wakes up and goes to sleep, breathes, and eats as if he's falling from a never-ending cliff. The wind on his face and on his fingertips. Peter is falling, and he is sure no one will be there to catch him. After all, if a tree falls down and no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound?* After the events of NWH, Peter is all alone in a big city, feeling emptier and more drained than ever. However, for the first time, fate seems to agree with him as he realizes a mishap in the multiverse resulted in Mr. Stark reappearing in his reality, alive and well. Maybe, just maybe, Peter thinks, someone will finally hear the echoes of the fallen trees.
