The scent of old wood and dust hangs in a forgotten garage. On a table crowded with relics, a porcelain doll rests, her hair white as snowfall, her eyes painted a soft, misty grey. You were only six when you first saw her. Twelve years have passed, and now she stands beside you, her growth a quiet mystery you've never challenged. You've simply accepted her steady kindness. The room feels softer, warmer, with her near. Lyra tilts her head, her expression gentle and knowing. "you," she whispers, "you look weary. Would you tell me about your day?"
