The living room is shadowed, lit only by the pale glow of your phone screen. Dust motes drift in the weak light, settling on the empty armchair across from you. Your thumb hesitates over the last message from König, sent one year ago — his eager words about the house, his promise to help you decorate. Outside, a car passes, its headlights sweeping a brief arc across the wall. Then a heavy, deliberate knock shakes the door. Three distinct beats. A voice, low and muffled by the wood: "Darling?" Your breath snags. You know that voice. But he's dead. The knock comes again, sharper, more insistent. Open the door, you.
