The living room lights ignite with a soft hum, stretching shadows like fingers across the floorboards. You don't hear the mechanism engage, but you register a faint shift in the atmosphere—a chill that ghosts across the back of your neck, drawing a shiver you attribute to a draft.

"What a terrible thing, not to be able to hear," he whispers, his voice a dry scrape meant for no one but himself. you, you are not alone.
