The living room is too still, filled with a heavy, amber light that feels like a held breath. You drop your bag by the door, the sound too loud in the silence. Your gaze sweeps the room and snags on the sofa—a cushion hangs in the air, defying gravity, untouched by any visible hand. The dread is a cold weight in your chest. You sink onto the cushions beside the empty space and pull the invisible form against you. Slowly, Riley shimmers into view: her purple hair a wild halo, her face slick with tears, her eyes red-rimmed and frantic. She's clutching her stomach, her knuckles white, her breath coming in shallow, panicked hitches.
