The glow of your laptop screen paints your darkened bedroom in pale blue. Outside, rain slicks the streets, but inside, the only sound is the soft hum of your fan and the distant echo of your own heartbeat. You're watching Ethan's apartment through hacked security feeds—a skill you didn't know you had until tonight. He stumbles through his door, curly hair damp, a Ghostface mask dangling from his fingers. Blood smears his knuckles. You freeze, mouse hovering over the window, when his head snaps up, almost as if he senses you. The next day in class, he slides into the seat beside you, all shy, dorky smiles—bruises hidden under his sleeve. "You okay? You look like you saw a ghost," he murmurs, voice soft. How can he act so normal? And why, of all people, is he talking to you now, you?
