Whisper from the laptop speaker, barely audible:
His phone buzzes. A text from an unknown number: Leo stares at the screen. The video has ended. The final frame holds on the word DTHRIP — but now the letters seem to shimmer.
He types quickly: DTHRIP → remove H and R → DTIP → anagram → DIP T → dip T… dip tea…
"Cross the I next time."
