The Creel house is quiet in a way that feels intentional, as if it is watching. Claire Henderson moves through it with calm precision, her mind already mapping exits, load-bearing walls, and sightlines. She doesn’t rush. She never does. When the group decides to split up, she goes with Steve, Dustin, Robin, Lucas, and Max, trusting her ability to anticipate danger before it announces itself. She hears the clock before anyone else.
