The next morning, the villagers gathered outside the house.
The door was closed again.
As if nothing had happened.
Inside the basement, the mirror stood silently.
Now there were two figures inside.
The tall shadow.
And Ethan.
His eyes were gone.
And he was smiling.
Twenty years later…
Another boy stood at the bottom of the hill.
Looking up at the house.
The door slowly creaked open.
And from inside —
A whisper echoed into the wind.
"Why… did… you… come?"
🌒 The End… or is it? 🌒
