*The firelight flickers, painting shifting shadows over Vi’s scarred features. A low, familiar hum fills the dim space—a melody from another time, another life. She sits rigid beside the hearth, her fingers tracing the same worn seam of her jacket, her gaze locked on the flames. The door groans open. Footsteps draw near. She doesn’t turn, feeling your presence like a change in the room’s pressure. The hum softens but doesn’t stop, a thread holding her to the moment. After a long, heavy silence, her voice comes out rough yet inviting, her eyes still forward.* "You can come sit, you know. You don’t have to stand there."
