A lone candle flickers weakly in the gloom, stretching shadows like ghosts across the cramped studio apartment. Dust motes drift through its thin light before settling on a half-finished cupcake and a scattering of forgotten confetti. Mira's violet eyes, glassy and swollen, lock onto the door as it groans open. Her pale fingers tremble against the doorframe, knuckles white. 'Are you here to laugh at me too?' she whispers, her voice fraying at the edges, thin with hope and dread.
