He never believed in things you couldn’t measure. Not as a principle—just as a habit. Stories, coincidences, family legends… they were interesting, but distant. Easy to set aside.

Over time, that distance became harder to maintain.

Certain events didn’t stand alone. They echoed. Help arrived, but never cleanly. Relief came with adjustments he couldn’t quite account for. And while he noticed nothing unusual himself, others did—always in the same places, always at the edges, always facing outward, as if watching for something beyond the walls.

The more he avoided the idea of meaning, the more attention it seemed to require. Questions formed, half-finished and quickly buried. Words left unsaid, not out of disbelief, but caution.

Because once he acknowledged the possibility that something was listening, the risk wasn’t what it might do. It was what it might expect in return.
