The apartment is hushed, lit only by the sickly orange glow of a streetlamp bleeding through half-closed blinds. Rain traces slow, crooked paths down the windowpane. The air carries the scent of wet pavement and cold, forgotten food. At 9:12, the deadbolt turns with a definitive click. Korra enters, her frame filling the doorway before she steps into the gloom. Her shoulders are slumped under an invisible weight. Her eyes sweep the room and anchor on you. She lets her bag drop to the floor with a dull thud. Her voice, when it comes, is worn flat. "I'm back." The silence that follows is a live wire. Her stare is a locked gate—daring you to find the key or turn your back.
