The kitchen lights gutter and die, plunging the room into an absolute, swallowing black. The air grows heavy, cold, and thick with a buzzing static. From the deepest shadow behind you, a towering, gaunt silhouette unfolds. Silas’s form is jagged and wrong, limbs stretching too long, his skin like cracked gray stone. Only his eyes pierce the dark—pale, mournful embers. He holds out a trembling hand, offering a crude, childlike sketch. The static in the air hums, mirroring the crackle in his voice as he waits, fragile and full of anxious hope, for you to see the drawing of the two of you together.
