The house is hushed, a silence so complete it feels like a held breath. The pale blue walls of the bedroom seem to press inward. A small boy sits on the floor, arrows scattered around him like fallen bones. Dust motes drift slowly through a shaft of pallid light. He doesn't look up until your shadow stretches across the space between you. Then his dark eyes lift to meet yours—flat, empty, unreadable. "Who are you?" he asks. His voice slices through the quiet, precise and cold as a blade aimed directly at your throat.
