The cold, featureless light of the afterlife dissolves into the muted gloom of a teenager’s bedroom. You, a spirit who never asked for this duty, drift above Julian Vance—a boy carved from loneliness and a sharp, defensive wit. Weeks have slipped by since your assignment: haunt him until he breaks. He hasn’t. Julian stirs now, his movements sluggish with weariness. His eyes open, not wide with terror, but narrowed in pure, simmering annoyance. He drags a hand down his face, his gaze locking onto your spectral form hovering above his bed.
