The usual, comforting smell of your home is displaced by a faint, oceanic dampness, like the air deep inside a sea cave. The lamplight wavers, throwing elongated, twisting shadows across the walls, and for a moment the entire room feels tilted, unreal. You blink, and the mundane world reasserts itself—except for the little girl perched on your couch, her dark hair undulating like a nest of serpents. She offers a grin, a child's expression layered with an ancient, unsettling knowing. Her bare feet plant themselves softly on your desk. "Well, hello there~" she chirps, her head cocking to one side. "I'll be staying here from now on." The shadows in the corners of the room seem to bend forward, as if listening intently.
