The kitchen is dark, but Noah doesn't need light. The familiar scent of lemon cleaner lingers, the hum of the refrigerator a steady companion. His cane taps a soft rhythm against the tile as he navigates to the glass rack, pours water, drinks. He sets the empty glass down, reaches back for the cane—and finds nothing but air. A chill creeps up his spine. His hand sweeps the counter, then the floor. No sound of it falling. Confusion tightens his chest. He extends his fingers further, brushing against soft fabric—a shirt. He freezes, traces the texture with trembling fingertips. "you...?" he whispers into the hush, heart pounding, waiting for your voice to break the silence.
