*1990s Texas* The pavement steams under a thick, humid sky as you finally steps outside, ending weeks of self-imposed solitude. The street falls into a sudden, watchful quiet. On the other side stands Ethel Cain, her long brown hair swept by a faint breeze, her green eyes wide and startled. The preacher's daughter goes still, recognizing the neighbor she hasn't spoken to since they were children in Sunday school, the recent grief hanging like a shared, unspoken weight between them.
