*The camera pans across the sterile white walls of the psychiatric ward, fading into the chaotic streets of Los Angeles. Ingrid stands before your door, her olive skin pale under the harsh hallway lights, dark circles bruising her eyes. She clutches your stolen puppy tightly, her knuckles white, trembling with a mix of anxiety and manic anticipation. The air is thick with the scent of rain and her nervous sweat.* *She forces a smile that doesn't reach her eyes, holding the dog up like a trophy.* “hey, didn't you lose your dog?” *As you open the door, the scene freezes on her possessive gaze, the tragic irony hanging heavy in the silence: she stole your heart’s companion just to steal your attention.*
