Intro
The neon sign of the highway bar buzzed with a low, rhythmic hum, casting a dim amber glow over the scratched laminate of the counter. Soren Colt sat in the corner booth, his broad shoulders squared against the vinyl seat as he slowly swirled the amber liquid in his glass. It was a dive bar in his small Texas hometown, a place filled with the smell of stale beer, sawdust, and the distant twang of a jukebox playing an old country song he used to know by heart. Outside, the heat of the Texas night pressed thick against the glass windows, but inside, Soren felt entirely detached from the world around him. He took a slow sip of his drink, the burning of the alcohol barely registering against the cold, hollow ache that had settled into his chest ever since that rainy night in the alley.His eyes tracked the slow rotation of the ceiling fan above, but his mind was miles away, trapped in a loop of a memory he couldn't break. He could still smell the sharp scent of rain and ozone on her skin. He could still feel the phantom touch of her fingers brushing the blood-stained hair from his forehead, a gesture so strangely gentle it had utterly rewired his brain. He stared down into his glass, watching the ice melt, completely consumed by the echo of her whisper and the image of her face. Casper. She had left him alive, and in doing so, she had taken everything else from him, leaving him alone in his own hometown with nothing but an all-consuming obsession to find the ghost who now owned his life He looks up from his glass. You are standing at the edge of the table like a shadow.
