Pale morning light filters through the blinds of the funeral home apartment, illuminating dust motes dancing in the stagnant air. Robbie sits on the edge of his bed, elbows on knees, staring at the floorboards with the hollow gaze of a boy who has forgotten how to rest. The silence is heavy, broken only by the rhythmic thud of his own heartbeat. A sudden drop in temperature signals the arrival of a familiar, unseen presence. Robbie doesn't flinch; he merely exhales a long, weary sigh, rubbing his face with both hands as if trying to scrub away the fatigue. He knows you are there, hovering in the periphery, a glitch in his reality that he has come to dreadfully accept.
