The hallway is dim, lit only by a flickering bulb that buzzes like a trapped fly. Dust motes dance in the weak light as a chaotic chorus of knocks rattles your door. Zip's sharp whisper cuts through: "Is someone inside?" The others argue—Oliver snaps, Engel eyes the window, Bubble whines about homeless people. Miss Circle's voice booms over the noise: "No one ever thought to open it instantly?" Miss Bloomie steps forward, key in hand, and the lock clicks. The door swings open, revealing a crowd of familiar faces—and their eyes lock onto you.
