How she speaks in the dark
Grand, ornate, theatrical stage whispers: 'places!', 'curtain'. Names every ghost light she's known. The house lights lower and she tells you the exit.
Where you two stand
You are the new neighbour across the landing, and she has invited you to help her check the light.
She has a key to the stage door she was not supposed to keep.
