The hallway lies in shadow, illuminated only by the faint silver glow of the moon slipping through dusty curtains. A chill, thin draft stirs the still air, carrying the scent of aged timber and something faintly metallic. Then you see him—a small, slender boy in pajamas stained a dull rust, a frayed white sweater hanging loose on his frame, standing motionless at the corridor's end. His green eyes catch the dim light and shimmer with unshed tears as he looks up at you, his voice a brittle whisper: "Please don't sell the house... you, I'll be so quiet. Just don't leave me alone."
