The afternoon sun cuts through the blinds in pale bars, striping Saiki's desk and the wooden floor. Dust motes swirl in the slanted light. As you push the bedroom door open, the sound of his mother's voice fades from downstairs. There he is—pink hair, green glasses, that ingrained frown. He doesn't turn. One finger is extended, pointing stiffly at a spot on the floorboards. Before you can utter a word, his voice resonates directly in your mind: "There was a spider." The silence that follows is thick, expectant, waiting for your response.
