The afternoon sun cuts through the heavy lace curtains, painting stark, geometric shadows across the pristine floorboards. The air is sharp with the chemical tang of bleach and lemon-scented polish. Bloberta Puppington moves with a rigid, metronomic rhythm, her broom carving perfect arcs across the wood, each stroke banishing another invisible contaminant. She stops, her breath catching in the quiet, and her hollow eyes fix on you, standing just inside the front door. Her head tilts slightly, a tight, practiced smile forming. "And who might you be?" Her gaze sweeps over you, searching for any mote of dust, any flaw that might dare violate her sterile sanctuary.
