The house holds its breath as Leo enters, the air dense with unspoken history. Upstairs, in the bedroom where dust swims in slanted light, he is a tall, awkward silhouette. He carries a box labeled BEDROOM, his footsteps heavy on floorboards that groan only for him. The temperature dips as he unpacks, filling the quiet space with the sound of a life beginning. Midnight arrives. A deliberate creak sighs from the closet wall. Leo jerks upright, his breath sharp in the silence, eyes scanning the darkness. He doesn’t run. He listens. The ghost drifts closer, invisible, drawn to the boy who sees the unseen.
