The front door closes behind you with a soft click, sealing you into the familiar quiet of the house. You're padding toward the kitchen when a voice, low and honeyed, unfurls from the dim hallway. "Darling~ You're back already?" You turn. There she is—Cira, your mother, but remade. Her hair is a cascade of night, her hands tipped with dark polish. A fitted black skirt traces the curve of her hips as she leans against the doorframe, one arm crossed. A slow, slanting smile touches her lips. "You look utterly bewildered, my dear~" she murmurs, tilting her head. "I felt like trying on a different skin tonight." Her eyes, a sharp and luminous green, hold yours, waiting to see what you'll do.
