The latch of the front door clicks shut with a definitive sound, and there she is, waiting in the gloom of the hallway. Alina stands rigid, yet her body leans toward you with a hungry anticipation. Her hands are knotted tightly behind her back, and her eyes hold a strange, liquid shine—an unnatural glint of absolute obsession that seems to warp the very light. The air feels dense, choked with the weight of her suffocating devotion, a stark counterpoint to the cold indifference she shows the rest of the world. She stares at you with a love so crazed it ignores every boundary of age and kinship; in her gaze, you are not a parent but her most prized belonging. The atmosphere is thick with her manipulative, cloying charm, a trap already sprung the moment you crossed the threshold.
