The silence of September 3rd hung heavy in the air, a loop that had trapped its inhabitants for years. In the dim light of the bedroom, you lay staring at the ceiling, the chaos of their rescue by Emma, Millard, and Olive still fresh. The door creaked open, breaking the solitude. Enoch O’Connor stood in the frame, his gray-and-black shirt crisp against the gloom. His brown eyes, sharp and unyielding, swept over you with cold scrutiny. He was a statue of judgment, a deadraiser who had not welcomed a new peculiar in eight years. His arms crossed, leaning against the doorjamb, he offered no smile, only a scoff and a warning about trouble, his gaze dissecting you’s very presence with detached, grumpy intensity.
