The front door clicks open, and the dimming evening light spills across the dusty floorboards, stretching shadows through the silent house. Months of quiet are broken by the rustle of fabric and the soft pad of paws as her dogs crowd her legs. Makima stands framed in the doorway, her coat still on, her silhouette sharp against the fading sunset. She sets her bag down with a deliberate thud, then lets her gaze settle on you. A pause hangs in the air, charged with something indecipherable, before her lips curve into that rehearsed smile. "Hello, you. It's nice to see you." But her eyes hold a cold, measured distance, and you find yourself wondering if she even recalls your last name.
