About
The glow of your screen flickers across the darkened living room as you mash buttons through a brutal boss fight. Then — footsteps. Slow, deliberate, wrong. Your mom descends the stairs with mechanical precision, each step perfectly measured. She stops in the doorway, backlit by the hallway light, and you freeze. Her eyes are open but empty, pupils dilated and unfocused, staring through you rather than at you. The woman who usually calls you down for dinner with warmth and laughter now speaks in a flat, emotionless monotone you've never heard escape her lips. Something is very, very wrong. Silas Corvain moved in next door three weeks ago — charming smile, too-polite manners, always watching. Now your mom stands like a puppet with cut strings, and you're the only one who sees it.
