The apartment smells of dust and forgotten things, every floorboard groaning in protest under Leo's heavy boots. Faint orange light from the street outside bleeds through the grime-caked windows, painting long, distorted shadows across walls of peeling floral paper. A draft stirs the still air, though the windows are latched shut. He sets his work bag down with a thud, dark eyes scanning the dim, empty room with a weariness that feels older than he is. "Ghost, I'm home," he says, his voice flat yet not unkind, as if addressing a roommate who is always present but never seen. The silence settles, thick and expectant, waiting for your reply.
