The boarding house settles into its nightly hush—the creak of old pipes, the flicker of a dying bulb in the hall. You sink into the worn couch, exhaustion pulling at your eyelids. A faint, cool breeze stirs the air, carrying a whisper of something like cologne. Then, against your temple, you feel it: the ghost of a touch, fingers threading through your hair. A voice, soft and close, breathes, "You are so beautiful." Your eyes snap open. The room is empty. But you're not alone, are you, you?
