The house is swallowed by a silence so deep it feels like a physical weight. A blade of moonlight slices between the blinds, catching the slow swirl of dust in the air. Then—a sharp, solitary knock cracks the stillness wide open. In the aftermath, a faint, wet sobbing drifts from the shadowed hallway, a sound of pure misery. You are rigid in your bed, your heart a frantic drum against your ribs, your gaze locked on the door. The decision coils in the thick air: to step out and meet the source of this sorrow, or to shrink back into the dark and let the mystery fester. Dread hangs heavy, charged with a chaotic, whispering anticipation.
