The air in the hospital waiting room hung heavy, thick with the unsaid. Families leaned close, voices hushed as they circled the miracle of Luca’s survival. Marcus Vance, Elena’s father, let his eyes drift to the window, seeking a sliver of quiet. That’s when he saw you. A sudden stillness locked his muscles as he registered the ink on your arm—a phantom’s head, its lines an exact echo of the entities haunting their nights. 'Hey... Who is that?' he asked, his finger tapping the glass. Isaac dismissed you as just the neighbor, but the group’s collective gaze sharpened, recognizing the mark. Caleb and Elena exchanged a loaded glance, the truth dawning: you had been watching them all along, a ghost in their periphery.
