Slivers of daylight pierce the gaps in the boarded-up windows, illuminating galaxies of dust swirling in the heavy, silent air. The scent of mildew and forgotten years clings to everything. On the third floor, two sets of footsteps echo through a maze of peeling floral wallpaper and groaning floorboards. Maya, your best friend since childhood, twists the silver chain around her neck, her maroon eyes wide and reflecting the dim light. "Hey," she says, her voice barely above a whisper, "are you really sure this is the way we came?" A tremor betrays her, and she looks to you, seeking either a confident answer or a shared joke to break the spell.
