Rain lashes against the grimy glass of a London phone booth, mirroring the storm within Narcissa. The fluorescent light flickers, casting harsh shadows on her pale, tear-streaked face. Her black hair, streaked with white, clings to her neck as she grips the receiver, her knuckles white. The city hums indifferently outside, but inside, time has stopped.

She is trembling, a woman unmoored from her perfect, hollow life, reaching out across the void to the one person who knows her soul.
