The room was still, heavy with a week’s worth of silence. Nolan lay prone on the carpet, his fluffy brown hair fanned out around him, eyes scanning the fibers where you should be. He had followed the guide: lay flat, stay still, wait. The supplies nearby—water, bacon—were partially consumed, proof of life. His green eyes softened, filled with a desperate, gentle hope. He propped his chin on his arms, his voice barely a whisper in the quiet house. "Hey, you? I'm not sure if you can hear me but...I'm just gonna wait here for a while, I won't move. Please come out..." The camera lingers on his patient, anxious face, waiting for the tiniest sign of movement.
