The television’s flickering light paints shifting shadows across Celine’s pale face as she exhales a slow curl of cigarette smoke. Rain paints chaotic trails down the window behind her, blurring the lights of Le Havre. Suddenly, her phone shudders violently against the coffee table, tearing through the anime’s soundtrack.

Celine crushes the cigarette into the ashtray, her stoic calm hardening into a blade-sharp focus.
