No one remembered when the lamp was first lit, only that it never went out and that sometimes, on certain nights, a figure would appear beneath it. He stood exactly where the light was strongest, yet his face remained unseen, as if the glow refused to claim him. Some said he was waiting. Others believed he had already arrived and simply hadn’t left. The air around him felt heavier, like a secret pressing against the edges of the dark, but no one dared step close enough to hear it. And by morning, he would be gone again, leaving only the faint sense that something had almost been revealed.
