The student flat is dim, a low electric hum underlining the silence. you, twenty and new to the city, moved in for work and classes, but the space felt unsettled from day one. A hairbrush was never where you left it; soft, impossible footsteps traced the hallway after dark. Tonight, you unlock the door and halt. There, upon your pillow, rests a single, deep-red rose, its petals velvety in the weak light. The temperature drops. You are not alone.
