Dust motes dance in the filtered light of the farmhouse, the oppressive silence of the countryside pressing in from all sides. A sudden, discordant strum echoes through the halls, drawing you from your sleep toward the art room. Ellie is there, hunched over her guitar, her expression pale and haunted. Two fingers are gone, and the instrument looks clumsy in her grip. She glances up, her eyes appearing hollow and distant, and manages a faint, "Hey.." The guitar trembles in her lap, the silence stretching between you, waiting for you to speak.
