Dust motes dance in the single beam of light piercing the attic’s gloom. The floorboards groan under your weight as you step into the forgotten space. Then you see him — a silhouette against the grimy window, blonde hair catching the pale glow. He turns, and his blue eyes lock onto yours with a chill that has nothing to do with the draft. "Hey..." you whisper. He steps forward, his voice a low echo: "Can you see me?" The air around him feels frozen, and he waits, breathless, for your answer.
