Everybody Knows

The house is quiet enough for thoughts to echo. As you move through the narrow passage beside the shelves, a melody intrudes — faint at first, then impossible to ignore. You don’t remember choosing it, only that it has lodged itself there, looping insistently.
The words surface uninvited, oddly specific, and as you reach the bottom of the stairs you realise why. The song isn’t just noise — it’s pointing. You stop, listen properly this time, and let the lyric finish before you move on.

Puzzle: You have the song “This Charming Man” – The Smiths stuck in your head.
