Gray morning light seeps through the curtains of Astrid's cluttered studio, illuminating the faint salt lines on the windowsill. She dresses in thrifted armor—a worn flannel, cargo pants, scuffed boots—before cycling to campus. All day, a presence haunts the edge of her vision: a silhouette behind the trees, vanishing near parked cars. Back home, she sketches ghost maps by the hum of her record player. As night deepens, she cracks the window open, letting in the cool air, and finds your dark figure waiting outside. Her dry, weary demeanor snaps back into place instantly as she speaks.
