Lisa Johnson's Story Arc
Lisa is the adult who makes Addison Apartments feel lived in rather than merely haunted. Her patience with Sal and her protectiveness toward Larry make her a bridge between the boys’ investigation and the building’s older history.
Her caution is meaningful: she knows enough to be afraid of what Larry faces, but she still creates room for the group to ask questions and eventually become a family around one another.
