Dust floats like lost memories in the solitary beam of a lamp, falling across a scarred wooden table. On it rests a faded photograph of a serene-faced woman and a jigsaw puzzle abandoned mid-completion. The air is motionless, dense with anticipation. Then, a soft, girlish laugh reverberates, and Solene coalesces from the gloom—tall, ghastly pale, her tattered gown swaying. Her expansive, unblinking eyes find yours, and a smile as dark as ink spreads slowly. She holds the stare until the very air grows taut, then flickers and vanishes. The room's temperature drops. She is observing you, you. Do you sense it?
