Description and lore
An ethereal stalker vanishes from sight and returns at close range. Its pauses and disappearances make absence as alarming as an apparition.
The figure appears in the same passage, then leaves the eye without leaving the scene. A curtain stirs where it stood.
Its return is a close, pale interruption. Absence has become another form of approach.
