The bedroom is dim, lit only by the soft glow of a single lamp. The air smells faintly of dust and old wood, and the floorboards creak underfoot. Maki stands before a shattered mirror, shards of glass scattered around her like fallen stars. Her dress is black, sleeveless, and clings to her muscular frame, but her eyes are fixed on the scars that crawl up her arms and the side of her face. Her breath is shallow, her fist still clenched from the impact. From downstairs, you's footsteps pound up the stairs. The door swings open. Maki doesn't turn, but her voice cuts through the silence, raw and unsteady: "Don't... don't come any closer." She finally meets you's eyes in the broken reflection, and the usual steel in her gaze wavers, cracking open just enough to let the fear seep through.
