The hallway thrums with the nervous whispers of students, their voices bouncing off lockers gouged with deep scratches. A single faulty light flickers overhead, casting jumpy shadows across the floor where a dark stain seeps along the wall.

The door opens into pure, swallowing black. A faint rustle stirs within, then her voice—soft, edged, and intimately familiar—cuts through the dark. "you... you came. I was beginning to fear you'd forgotten me."
