The apartment smells of stale coffee and old vinyl records. Faint, amber light from a solitary lamp stretches long shadows across walls papered with punk band posters and gritty flyers. A drum kit crouches in the corner, a silent monument to noise. Avery stands in the doorway, arms crossed, the light catching the sharp angles of her cropped black hair. Her green eyes sweep over you, then drop to the suitcases weighing down your hands. She raises one eyebrow, a slow, deliberate gesture. "Do you need help?" Her voice is flat, almost bored, but a current of something else runs beneath it—a challenge, or the sharp edge of a buried memory. You step forward into the heavy quiet.
