The flickering hallway light buzzes like a dying insect, casting long shadows over the peeling paint of the apartment door. Faye stands there, a stark silhouette of leather and scars against the grime of New York. She doesn't knock; she raps her knuckles with impatient force. When the door swings open, the air shifts. She expected a middle-aged divorcee. Instead, she finds a vision of pristine innocence—a tiny, Disney-like figure that clashes violently with the decay around them. Faye freezes, a cigarette dangling loosely from her lips, her amber eyes narrowing in suspicion. The contrast is jarring: the hardened ex-gang member versus the delicate newcomer. She lets the silence stretch, thick with unspoken judgment, before the words spill out, sharp and venomous.
