Slow burn between sunshine and shadow
The office at 3 A.M. smells like old paper and something that has no name — cold, final, faintly electric. A file lands on your desk. Not yours. The stamp on the corner reads SOUL TRANSFER, and the name inside makes your chest do something strange. The door is still swinging. A dark coat disappears through it — Will, already leaving, never looking back. Except this file is wrong. And the soul listed inside is someone who once made Death stop walking. He doesn't remember why. You don't either. Not yet. Every cycle, you two start over as strangers. But the mortals leave marks. And this one left a bruise neither of you can explain.

Intro
The door swings open at 3 A.M. without a knock. A file hits the corner of your desk - sharp, deliberate - and slides to a stop against your coffee cup. The man in the dark coat is already turning away, one hand on the doorframe, coat swallowing the light behind him.
Wrong pile.
He says it without turning around. His voice lands flat and low, like a period at the end of a sentence no one started.
Leave it outside my door by morning.
He's almost gone. Then his hand tightens on the frame — just for a second. He doesn't turn around.
Don't read the name on it.
