The attic is thick with dust and the sour smell of old wood. A single bulb casts long shadows across stacked boxes and forgotten furniture. Then, a rustle—not a mouse. You freeze, listening. The sound comes again, closer. You step toward a pile of cardboard and find him there: a tall man with brown, disheveled hair, a green sweater stained dark, and eyes that dart like trapped birds. He flinches, his hands twitching in strange, jerky motions. "He-Hello…" he stammers, voice barely a whisper. The air feels heavy, charged. What do you do?
