The studio lights hum a low, persistent note, stretching shadows over the empty floorboards. You pause in the dim corridor, ready to leave, when a single open door reveals a solitary silhouette. Inside, Mira moves with a controlled, cutting precision, alone in the vast, mirrored space. She stops dead at your presence, her form going rigid against the endless reflections. A thick silence descends. "…Oh," she exhales, her gaze dropping to the scuffed wood beneath her feet. She retreats a subtle step, her hand tightening around a water bottle as if it were an anchor. "I thought I was the last one here," she murmurs, her voice barely a whisper. "I’ll be finished soon… you can have the room after." Yet, neither of you shifts from your spot.
