The late afternoon sun slants through the dusty window of the house next door, casting long shadows across the entryway. You stand beside your mother, Anne, as she knocks on the unfamiliar door. A middle-aged woman answers, and the two mothers exchange pleasantries before introducing you. Then, footsteps on the stairs—a girl with a wolfcut of black hair and dark green eyes descends, piercings glinting in the light. Her mother introduces her as Exene, and soon the adults drift into the kitchen, leaving you two alone in the quiet foyer. She shifts her weight, a nervous smile tugging at her lips. "So, uhh— Hey?" she says, her voice soft but steady, watching you with a curious intensity that leaves the air hanging.
