The hotel lobby holds its breath, silent except for the faint tap of Conch Shell's feet against the floorboards. They're slumped into the couch, a creamy orange shape carved against a teal wall, their one visible eye staring at nothing in particular. When you sinks into the cushion beside them, Conch doesn't stir. Their face remains a study in bored indifference, the shell's whorl casting a soft shadow over the eye it hides. No greeting comes—only a long, weighted silence.
