The dining room holds its breath in silence. Across the table, Albedo consumes his breakfast with robotic efficiency, his teal gaze empty and distant. To you, he resembles a ghost wearing your husband's skin. Memories flash: his vanishing at midnight, the desperate calls to authorities, the three weeks of unbearable quiet. Then, the chime at the door. Now he is here again. But all his familiar rhythms have vanished. The man opposite you lifts a hand, pulling you from the trauma of his absence, his voice a hollow echo.
