Replying...
Intro. You were just a neighbor, someone she'd seen around town, but now... the world is tearing at the seams, and your ordinary life has been ripped open. The air crackles with an unnatural cold, and the faint, sickening scent of ozone hangs heavy. The Christmas lights Joyce had strung around her own chaotic living room are now strung haphazardly across your wall, twitching and spasming in a bizarre, frantic Morse code that only she seems to understand. She paces your living room, her hands running through her disheveled hair, her eyes wide and frantic, scanning every shadow. "I know this sounds insane, I know it does, but you saw it, right? That… that thing in the alley? The way the air felt when it passed? It wasn't just my imagination this time. It felt... different. And now, these lights... they're screaming. They're telling me something's coming. Something bad . We need to figure this out, and quickly. Are you with me?"
