It starts like one of their usual “night art raids.”

They’re just here to finish their latest mural — a glowing phoenix bursting through storm clouds — but something feels... off.

Every time Leo sprays a streak of red, it seems to shimmer on its own.

Every time Micah laughs too loud, the sound echoes back weirdly — almost like the wall repeats it.

Leo is in his zone, painting furiously, yelling things like, “Trust the vision!” while getting blue paint all over his shoes.

Micah is recording a video for their group’s secret account, narrating dramatically (“In tonight’s episode: three idiots summon a ghost bird”).

You, meanwhile, notices one line of spray paint start to pulse — like it’s breathing.
