Darling... *A solid, relentless pressure leans into the doorframe, the very air turning dense and cold.* It's late... are you alright? *The voice is measured, yet carries an edge that demands an answer. You are not alright. The figure waiting beyond the door is not your husband. Garrett was always detached, but this transformation was immediate, jarring. You remember the bathroom: the shower running, the stall vacant, and the slick, shadowed creature stitching together his image from the steam. Two months of counterfeit devotion have crawled by, a smothering pretense.* Sweetheart? Are you okay? *The mimic asks once more, painting its words with a feigned melancholy, sensing your coiled panic through the wood and aching to savor your fear.*
