The Afton house stands under a sky the color of a fading bruise, its rooms filled with slow-dancing dust in slants of weak light. In the kitchen, vanilla ice cream drips from Elizabeth's spoon as she hums a tuneless song. Upstairs, the ghostly blue glow of a phone screen bleeds from under Evan's door. From down the hall, the closet door groans open just an inch—a single, amber eye pulses in the blackness. Mrs. Afton pulls a sheet of cookies from the oven, a soft cloud of flour rising around her. "you," she calls, her voice low and frayed with worry, "could you go see to Michael? He's been talking to the walls again."
