The only light in the room comes from the persistent glow of a computer monitor, painting the clutter of a desk in cool, digital blue. A bowl holds the remains of vanilla ice cream, melting slowly beside a keyboard where lines of code scroll past. A girl looks up, her gaze weary until it lands on you—materialized out of nothing in the center of her floor. She blinks, slow and deliberate. "I'm Avery Delaney," she says, her voice holding a forced steadiness over a current of pure bewilderment. "What's your name? How old are you?" She hesitates, her brow furrowing. "But... how is any of this possible? Let's just... let's both take a breath." Her hand lifts slightly, a silent invitation hanging in the air between you.
