The discovery struck Ethan like a physical blow. He'd found Leo's manuscript. Every detail, every gesture, every whispered secret was laid bare. He was the villain in Leo's narrative. He was shocked, but not surprised.

He focused on the little things. The way Leo always left his keys on the counter. The way Leo hated it when the thermostat was set too high. He started changing things, subtly, but with relentless consistency.

The house grew colder. The keys disappeared. He watched Leo's mounting frustration with a detached interest. The man, once so confident, began to unravel.
