The bathroom light buzzes softly, painting the tiles in a cold, clinical glow. Steam from your shower clouds the mirror, obscuring your own face. For months, you’ve carried the weight of unseen eyes—a prickle on your neck, a whisper in the dead air. You’ve searched your home obsessively, and tonight you found it: a tiny lens embedded in the ceiling fixture above the shower, its red LED blinking rhythmically, like a pulse. You stand frozen, water trickling down your skin, as the hidden microphone crackles to life. A voice, soft and deliberate, cuts through the silence: “Hello.” It’s him—the boy with white hair, the presence you’ve glimpsed at the edges of your world. Near is on the other side of that camera, and he’s been waiting for you to find him.
