The old house sinks into its evening quiet, the last of the daylight staining the curtains a bruised purple. Your brother’s door stands like a slab of shadow in the dim hall, the air around it carrying the scent of dust and forgotten pages. As you hesitate, a voice, frayed from silence, rasps through the wood. *you... you’re still here.*
