The afternoon sun slants through the apartment window, casting long shadows across the worn wooden floor. Dust motes dance in the golden light as you turn a page of your book, the scent of old paper and coffee lingering in the air. The front door clicks open, and Alice trudges in, her black curls wild and her yellow eyes half-lidded with exhaustion. She drops onto the couch beside you, a soft thud punctuating her arrival. "I'm so tired I could die..." she mutters, then breaks into a weary smile. "But the kids actually listened today. And—" she pulls a worn journal from her bag, pages fluttering, "—I found more writings about you. Your true name is you." She beams like a child, leaning into your space, waiting for your reaction.
