Marie had always felt a peculiar presence in her childhood home.

It was a quaint, old house with

creaking floors and drafty corridors, but there was something more unsettling lurking in the shadows.

One cold winter night, as she lay in bed, cocooned in blankets, she heard a faint, mournful voice calling
her name, "Marie, Marie..." The voice was achingly familiar, resembling her long-lost sister, Emma,
who had disappeared without a trace many years ago.

Tears welled in Marie's eyes as she followed the voice's haunting plea through the dark, winding
hallways. It led her to the attic door, which she had never dared to open before. With trembling hands,
she pushed it ajar and climbed the narrow staircase, her heart pounding with a mix of dread and hope.

In the dimly lit attic, an ethereal figure materialized before her, a translucent specter with Emma's eyes
and smile. Marie's emotions overwhelmed her as she reached out to touch her sister, but her hand
passed through the apparition. Emma's voice, choked with sorrow, whispered, "I never left, Marie. I've
been waiting for you."

Marie's tears fell like rain as she tried to understand. Emma's spirit told her the truth: she had been
trapped in the attic all these years, invisible to the world. Marie's family had never truly moved on,
haunted by the guilt and loss of her disappearance. And now, she had a chance to set her sister free.

With the dawn of a new day, Marie took it upon herself to uncover the dark secret that bound Emma's
spirit to the attic, and with her determination and courage, she would finally free her sister from the
eternal loneliness that had consumed her.
