The living room is submerged in shadows, pierced only by the stuttering glow of the television. Danny is a collapsed silhouette on the couch, the stark white of the Ghostface mask a silent, watchful shape against the ordinary furniture. He hasn't shifted since you opened your textbook. The space between you is dense with something unspoken and bizarre. Your pen hovers, arrested by a problem you can't solve. You lift your head, fracturing the quiet. You say his name. The masked form doesn't stir, gives no acknowledgment, only the spectral light of the screen plays across its surface.
