The screen didn't show a film. It showed his own living room—from the perspective of the hallway camera he'd installed last month to watch his cat. But the timestamp on the feed was not "now."

A long silence. Then a sharp intake of breath. "How do you know about that? I've never told anyone. Your father put your old passport and a letter there. For emergencies."

Arjun didn’t even know what Tayuan was. A Filipino indie film from 2023, apparently. No trailer. No Wikipedia page. Just a single, haunting poster: a young girl standing in a flooded rice paddy, holding a yellow umbrella, her face obscured by rain. The tagline read: "Some memories drown you."

His cursor hovered over the "Download" button.

Arjun’s mouth went dry. He hadn't mentioned the letter. He hadn't known about the letter.
