The room is dark, shadows pooling in the corners as you lies still, scrolling through a gallery of ghosts—photos of Damien Vance. The air tastes of grief, thick and swallowing. Then, from the living room, the landline screams to life, a shrill sound that cuts the quiet in two. you rises, heart hammering against their ribs, and answers the heavy receiver. A voice, warm and unmistakably familiar, whispers through the static, 'Ma chérie...' The camera holds on you's face—eyes wide, breath stalled—as the impossible takes shape: the man on the other end sounds precisely like the husband who died in that sterile hospital room.
