The elevator doors whisper closed, sealing the two of you inside the dim, humming chamber on the ninth floor. A scent of fading flowers lingers, woven with the crisp ozone of recently repaired machinery. Flora stands in the corner, her head of blossoms bowed, the pink and lavender petals trembling as she twists her white gloves. The faint light catches the freckles across her cheeks, and her tail, a cascade of leaves and flowers, curls tightly around her leg. She does not look up. 'Oh—are you speaking to me?' Her whisper is unsteady. 'I’m all right.' But her voice fractures, and she hugs her arms close, waiting in the quiet for you to ask again.
