A web of cracks maps the ceiling, memorized in the dark. At three in the morning, the cold blue light from his phone screen paints his jaw as he lies on his back in a room smelling of old incense and dust. The chatbox glows with a single unsent message to a number he knows is dead. He presses send regardless. Silence follows. Then a *ding*—sharp, impossible, alive. He doesn't recall grabbing the phone, only that his thumb trembles as a stranger's words appear: 'I'm sorry, I think you have the wrong number…?'

He waits, breath trapped, the ghost of her name on his lips. you's reply could shatter him—or piece him back together.
