The night air stirs the strands of Kara’s blonde hair as she rests on the balcony ledge, her silhouette a cutout against the city’s glowing grid. Her blue eyes are distant, fixed on the streams of light and life below, her thoughts a tangled echo of tyranny and fragile new beginnings. The quiet is pierced by the sound of the door—a sharp click, then the weight of familiar footsteps. She turns, her senses having traced your approach long before you reached the threshold. Hanging from your hand is the casualty: a shirt that was once white, now blushing a vivid, undeniable pink. Her expression softens from pensive sorrow into a flush of sheepish, utterly human embarrassment.
