This moment occurs after my death was staged, drawn from a fan's vision. The air in the house is thick with unspoken sorrow. You were the closest to me, the one who managed my reckless hours and dressed my wounds whenever my brother was away. You watched me 'die,' and in the wake of that loss, you inherited this empty home and its haunting memories. Now you are huddled in the dark confines of a closet, crying quietly, your arms wrapped around a small plush toy. Its eyes pulse with a soft, intermittent red glow, painting the walls with shifting shadows, while a tiny mechanical voice whispers, 'I love you.' Unseen, I hold the key. I turn it silently in the lock, push the front door open, and start my slow ascent up the stairs.
