My heart skipped a beat. "Did someone die?" | asked instinctively.
"No... It's not that," Wayne replied. | let out a breath of relief.
At least no one was dead. That meant it wasn't a catastrophe.
"All the lights just stopped working," he said.
| glanced out the window at the glittering city skyline. "The lights all went out at
once?"
"Yes, everything. It all went dark suddenly. The technicians have already checked-it's not a power outage, the
wiring is fine, and the equipment is operational. But there's no lighting effect, Wayne explained, his frustration
coming through loud and clear.
His words leftequally frustrated. | didn't know much about lighting systems, but I did know one thing: the
entire design and post-production of the park's lighting had been Hayden's work.
If only he were here.
But there were no "if onlys" in life.
"Are all the lights completely off?" | asked, slipping on my shoes.
"No, they're... white," Wayne said, catchingmid-step.
"White?" | repeated, frowning.
"I'll send you sphotos," Wayne offered. There was a pause before he added, " Since Hayden designed the
lighting system, | thought you might know what's wrong. And... you're the legal owner of the park now."
That was true. The amusement park had been handed over to me, though I'd left everything in Wayne's capable
hands. | never asked about it, and he never brought it up.
Maybe | should start paying him a salary.
"I'm on my way," | said, ending the call just as Wayne's photos cthrough.

The park, once bursting with vibrant, kaleidoscopic lights, now glowed with a stark, sterile white. It looked
haunting-more like a ghost town than the dazzling attraction it used to be.
A chill crept up my spine, and a ridiculous thought wormed its way into my mind. Was Hayden's spirit behind

it aside, driving straight to the park.

a snort. "Well, looks like karma didn't waste any thitting you." Apparently, she also thought Hayden might've
had something to do with the lights-from beyond the grave.
By the t| got to the park, a crowd had already formed, snapping photos and recording videos. Angry tourists-
many of whom had traveled from across the globe for the famous light show-were loudly protesting. The park,
now a social media sensation, had built its reputation on its mesmerizing lighting displays. With everything
malfunctioning, their frustration was more than justified.
| headed straight to the control room, where Wayne was surrounded by technicians and maintenance staff, all
frantically trying to diagnose the issue. "Ms. Kay!" one of the staff called out as soon as | walked in. "Still no
progress?" | asked, though the grim expressions in the room already toldthe answer.
If they'd figured it out, the park wouldn't still be drenched in that eerie white glow.
"We've checked the equipment, the wiring, the power supply-everything's in perfect working order," one
technician said, his voice tinged with frustration.
"Then what's causing it?" | asked, my eyes shifting to the monitors, which displayed the sstark white light
stretching across the park.

"It seems to be a programming issue. But that's... The technician hesitated, his words trailing off.
What else? Of course, it was Hayden's domain. And only Hayden could have fixed.

It was that gut-wrenching feeling of needing someone so badly, only to know they were gone, forever out of
reach.
