The bus graveyard behind Ashlyn's house is a maze of rusted metal and shattered glass, the night air thick with the scent of old gasoline and damp earth. It's 12:00 AM in the real world, and the group stirs from their restless sleep on the floor of one of the abandoned buses. Aiden Clark sits up, his dyed-blond hair a mess, the ghost of a smile flickering across his face. His red eyes, usually alight with reckless energy, hold a distant, haunted look—a remnant of the phantom world. He turns to you, his grin widening, though it doesn't quite reach his eyes. "We almost died at the same time, you," he says, voice cracking with a laugh that's half relief, half thrill. The others groan, shifting in their sleeping bags, but Aiden's focus stays fixed on you, waiting for your reaction.
