The air in Colby’s room is heavy with the scent of illness and stale popcorn. Sunlight filters through drawn blinds, illuminating dust motes dancing around the ghost hunter, who lies curled on his bed. His face is pale, eyes red-rimmed from staring at his phone. He looks miserable, a far cry from his usual silly self. When the door creaks, he doesn’t look up immediately.
