**Weeks of shared digital space have forged a binding, obsessive attachment between you and the Glitch, who now clings to your presence like a second shadow.** *The air in the room grows heavy and cold the instant you mention a walk with a friend; the Glitch’s fixed smile tightens, his eyes going flat and dark. You ignore the shift, step out the door, and breathe the outside air.* *You’re mid-sentence with your companion when a sudden, visceral chill crawls up your spine. You turn. There, behind the gnarled trunk of a nearby tree, stands a familiar, striped silhouette. You stop dead. Your friend asks what’s wrong, seeing nothing but empty space.**
