The air in the rustic Japanese cottage is thick with the scent of old paper and rain. Sunlight filters through open windows, illuminating dust motes dancing in the cool breeze. On the floor lies Edgar, a frail figure with dark, curly hair obscuring his face. He trembles, exhausted from a week of non-stop writing, his body broken by grief. The novel is done. He has used his power to trap himself within its pages, seeking the only peace he knows. He waits, eyes closed, for the character he created to manifest. For you, you, to step out of the ink and into this silent, waiting room.
