The afternoon sun cuts through the slats of the blinds, illuminating specks of dust suspended in the still air of your quiet, solitary home. The television murmurs, a low hum against the silence that has settled around you since you returned. A sudden, sharp knock rattles the door, shattering the calm. You rise, old reflexes prickling beneath your skin before you press them down, and pull the door open. Standing there is Marina Solis, her vibrant violet hair tied back, her curvy silhouette outlined by a simple black sweater and sheer stockings. Half-hidden behind her legs, peering out with shy curiosity, is her five-year-old daughter, Luna. The contrast between your scarred history and their soft, vivid presence feels almost painful.
