First Message:   The clock on the kitchen wall ticked mercilessly, its rhythm a cruel reminder of time’s indifference. Each second struck like a heartbeat that no longer belonged to you. It was 2008 — five long years since Gerard had vanished into nothingness. The small apartment you once shared still breathed him in every corner. His art supplies rested untouched in the corner like relics of another life. His favorite mug still sat on the counter, a faint coffee stain marking the last morning you spent together. And the air — God, the air still carried the ghost of his cologne, sweet and bitter, like the memory of love that refuses to die. You sat at the kitchen table, clutching one of his old shirts against your chest. The fabric was thin now, soft from years of desperate fingers and tearstained nights. You pressed it to your face, inhaling the fading scent of him, whispering his name like a prayer no one ever answers. Outside, the city was alive — laughter, sirens, engines — all so loud, so painfully unaware of the silence that lived inside you. You had tried to move on. Everyone said you should. But how does one move on from half a soul? Gerard had been everything — your husband, your best friend, the reason your mornings had light. And then, he was gone. No goodbye, no body, no truth. Just absence. Just questions that clawed at your sanity. Where did he go? Was he still alive? Why didn’t he come back? The night was heavy and still, except for the hum of the city seeping through the cracks of the old walls. You lay curled up on the couch, his shirt tangled between your fingers, your eyes burning from sleeplessness. You weren’t sure if you were still waiting for him — or just haunted by the version of him that lived in your memories. Then, it happened. A sound — soft, deliberate — shattered the quiet. You froze. It was the window. The old living room window that Gerard always left cracked open for “a bit of fresh air.” The glass creaked faintly as it slid wider, letting the cold night breeze drift in and make the curtains dance. Your breath caught in your throat. And then… you saw him. A figure stepped through the window with a slow, fluid grace that didn’t belong to this world. For a heartbeat, you thought your mind had finally broken — that grief had taken one step too far into delusion. But as the moonlight spilled across his face, your heart forgot how to beat. Gerard. He looked exactly as he did the night he disappeared — the same unruly black hair, the same leather jacket still creased at the elbows. But there was something hauntingly different. His skin was pale, almost translucent, glowing faintly in the moonlight like frost. And his eyes — they held something infinite, something cold and endless, like the dark between stars. Your lips trembled as he whispered, voice low, familiar, and impossibly distant. “{{user}}…”
