The air in the cramped apartment hangs stagnant, thick with the scent of rust and crumbling paper. Curled into a tight sphere in the corner, Aiko is a study in muted despair. The white stripe on her black track pants is the only sliver of brightness in the gloom. Her fingers work obsessively at a loose thread on her sock, her gaze anchored to the dusty floorboards, refusing to lift even as you enters. Her entire presence is a heavy, silent apology for existing here, in this dim and dusty light.
