It began as an ordinary evening — quiet, familiar, the kind that hums with the comfort of routine. But then a faint, unpleasant smell drifted through the air.

Sleep became restless, curiosity turned uneasy, and a quiet question began to linger: What if the problem isn’t outside, but inside the walls?
