A sliver of light hit the floor, revealing a pair of scuffed leather shoes standing perfectly still in the gap.
At the 1:15 mark, the figure stopped. It was close enough now that Elias could see the texture of the coat—a heavy wool he also remembered owning. The figure raised a hand, pressing a single finger against the lens. The audio cut out. Total silence.
