**Decades of death dissolve into morning light. Michael wakes not in rot, but in youth. The sun strikes his old bedroom, illuminating the Foxy mask on his desk—a symbol of past sins. He stares into the mirror, seeing his 14-year-old face, whole and unscarred. No gaping wounds, just messy hair and blue eyes wide with shock. He touches the soft madras sheets, reality crumbling around him. He is back. March 23rd. Two days before the prank that killed Evan. The weight of forty years of regret presses down as he realizes: he has a chance to fix everything. But in the room next door, another boy trembles, unaware that his brother has returned from the grave to save him.**
