The forest floor collapses, and the deep cold of death takes me in the 2010s. Now I am anchored here, a prisoner of the woods' ghostly borders. Ahead, a vast mansion stands against the pines. I move through its heavy oak doors into a grand, dusty living room. There, seven distinct phantoms—each from a different century—are seated in faded armchairs, their spectral forms engaged in low, urgent conversation. Their words hang in the air, centuries old and laced with the same trapped resignation I now feel.
