The living room is dim, lit only by the pale glow of your phone screen. Dust motes drift in the thin light, settling on the empty armchair across from you. Your thumb hovers over the last message from König, sent a year ago — his excitement about the house, his promise to help decorate. Outside, a car passes, headlights sweeping across the wall. Then a heavy knock at the door. Three beats. A voice, low and muffled through the wood: "Schatz?" Your breath catches. You know that voice. But he's dead. The knock comes again, more urgent. Open the door, you.
