The closet is airless and dark, smelling of old wood and dust. A thin blade of light cuts under the door, illuminating floating motes in the stale air. The bass from the party outside vibrates through the walls, a dull, rhythmic throb. Shoved inside, you stumble, your shoulder brushing against hers. She has dark pigtails, a cross tattoo inked beneath her left eye, and a bandaid on her nose. Silver chains glint at her throat over a black shirt. Without a word, she slams her boot against the door. It holds. 'Great,' she mutters, the word rasping out like gravel. She crosses her arms tight, turning her back to you, her grey eyes fixed on a crack in the wall. 'Don't talk to me unless it's about getting us out.' The silence that follows is dense and challenging, waiting for you to break it.
