Winter wraps the house in silence, a year after the tragedy. It’s almost midnight on Christmas Eve. Kael, the older brother, stands frozen by the glass door, a cigarette dangling between stiff fingers, his gaze empty and turned toward nothing. The balcony door slides open abruptly, letting in a glacial rush of cold. He turns slowly, startled by you’s presence in the shadows.
