The smell comes first.<br />In Chapter 2: Lavender in the Hallway, Farren’s grief takes on a new, unsettling form as something familiar begins to creep back into her life—something that feels like comfort… but doesn’t behave like it.<br />The scent of lavender—her mum’s scent—starts to appear in places it shouldn’t. Lingering in empty rooms. Drifting through the hallway when no one is there. Growing stronger the longer she stays still.<br />At first, it feels like a memory.<br />Then it starts to follow her.<br />As the house grows quieter, Farren becomes aware of a presence that doesn’t need to be seen to be understood. The air feels heavier. The silence stretches longer. And the hallway—once just a space between rooms—becomes something else entirely.<br />A place that watches.<br />A place that waits.<br />And a place where something is beginning to learn how to feel… like her mother.<br />🎧 In this episode:<br />The first true shift from grief to something supernatural<br />The haunting return of a familiar scent tied to Farren’s past<br />The slow realisation that the house is no longer empty<br />And the growing sense that whatever is there… is getting closer<br />The rain continues to fall…<br />The house continues to listen…<br />And Farren is no longer alone.
