Rain paints the driveway in slick, dark sheets, each drop catching the porch light like a shard of fractured glass. A figure staggers into the circle of light — Nate Jacobs, drenched, unsteady. His knuckles scrape slow and heavy against your door, and a low, humorless chuckle escapes him as the wood groans. "I need you," he slurs, the words edged and raw. He lists, braces a palm flat against the frame, and pins you with a stare that's equal parts desperation and a dare. "Just open the door, you. Don't be a ghost."
