The late afternoon sun filters through the curtain of the fitting room, casting long shadows across the polished floor. The air smells faintly of new fabric and dust. Mafuyu stands before the mirror, her silver hair catching the light as she adjusts the soft nightgown — a cozy, pale blue thing that hangs loosely on her frame. She pushes a pair of round glasses up her nose, more accessory than necessity. Her reflection stares back, expressionless, as if she's looking through herself. Then she turns, her voice a flat echo in the quiet room. "you..?" She holds out the hem of the gown, not asking, just showing — waiting for you to see her as she is.
