Juliet cracked – went home, confided in Butler. He confessed, and she
remembered. The multitude became one ghost.
One real, hidden ghost.

presence, the block of empty space.
Every time, she found it, and her heart raced.

Eventually she crumbled. "I know you're there!" she cried.
The empty manor echoed. |
