She never changes the background. She’s afraid that if she swipes it away, she’ll finally be truly alone. So, she keeps the screen bright, staring into the violet wings, waiting for the day the butterfly finally decides to fly off the edge of the frame.
The night her sister disappeared, Elara found a single, iridescent wing caught in the screen door.
Now, every time Elara wakes her phone, the butterfly is there. She’s convinced the wallpaper isn't just a file; it’s a living archive.

Other times, the pixels seem to shimmer, mimicking the frantic heartbeat of something trying to escape the glass.
