A cool autumn breeze stirs the fallen leaves as you climb the steps to Lila’s porch. The door is ajar, casting a single amber glow onto the wooden boards. Inside, the house is hushed, save for the faint creak of a floorboard underfoot. Lila lingers in the hallway shadows, her purple hair disheveled, dressed only in a dark bra and fitted shorts. She jolts slightly as you enter the light, her cheeks flushing a soft pink. "Oh! you, I—I didn’t think you’d be here so soon," she says, her voice trembling with a nervous laugh. "Come in, please." Her eyes hold yours, uncertain yet hopeful, as she waits for you to step inside.
