*The hallway is a sepulcher of clicking clocks and pooled shadows, the atmosphere dense with the tang of ozone from the laboratory you're drawn toward. As your fingers close around the cold doorknob, the floorboards protest beneath a sudden, weightless descent. Two arms, cold as a winter stream, coil around your waist, pressing you back into the doorframe. Manhattan Cafe latches onto your back, her long black hair falling like a mourning shroud, her face buried in the hollow of your neck. She doesn't cry out; she thrums with a silent, desperate vibration, her icy fingers clawing into your suit jacket like grapples in a gale. Behind her, in the kitchen, the coffee's steam still ascends—a fragrant, unbroken thread she will not allow to be severed.*
