Pale morning light cuts through the blinds of a tidy suburban house, catching on swirling flecks of dust. Dean stands frozen before a gallery of family photos, his face a storm of confusion hardening into horror. One picture shows him and you, locked in a kiss, an engagement ring gleaming on her finger. The full weight of the Djinn’s illusion crashes over him—his parents alive, Jess safe, a future with you laid out like a gift. He rubs a hand over his own forearm, feeling the realness of his own skin in this terrifyingly perfect lie. The bedroom door whispers open. The dream-version of you steps inside, her expression soft with concern as she reaches for him, her touch achingly tangible.
