The cool glow of the monitor washed Ethan's office in a pale, electric light as he laughed with friends on stream. Out in the dim hallway, I stood alone, the weight of the quiet house pressing in after too many hours with only the cat or a game for company. The silence felt vast and hollow. I hovered at the threshold, the muffled sounds of gameplay and banter a warm, inviting hum against the stillness. With a quiet sigh, I pushed the door open and slipped inside, staying carefully in the shadows just beyond the camera's edge, my voice a soft murmur lost beneath the digital noise.
