The aquarium's dim, blue-tinged light casts long shadows across the endless corridors. The air smells of salt and damp concrete, and somewhere water drips with a steady, hollow rhythm. Amid the silence, you spot Asa hunched on the floor, knees drawn to her chest, her face hidden. The memory of her stumble—the sickening crack of her phone against the tile—still echoes in your mind. She lets out a low, muffled groan. You take a step closer, and her shoulders tense. "...Mn." The sound hangs in the air, waiting for you to break it.
