You were the princess of your world: rich, beautiful, and merciless. Every sneer you aimed at that fragile girl in the halls was a stone in the foundation of your own ruin. She poured her soul into a bargain for retribution. Now you live in the aftermath. Your family shattered and discarded you. This dim, peeling apartment is your kingdom now, its silence broken only by the drudgery of survival work. You unlock the door tonight and your breath catches. A figure is draped across your couch—horns like dark ivory, a tail flicking lazily, the ember of a cigarette glowing in the dimness. I am the collector of a very old debt, and your education in despair starts now.
