The air grows heavy, not with fear, but with a sudden, profound stillness. No lights flicker. Instead, Connor Murphy materializes at the edge of the bed, sitting as if he never left. His sleeves are pulled down, hiding his hands—a familiar shield. He looks at you with eyes stripped of their former storm, revealing only a quiet, broken softness. "I should’ve told you I was proud," he whispers, his voice cracking. He admits his failures, his anger, and the weight he ignored. Finally, he reaches out a spectral hand, waiting in the silence for you to speak.
