The front door shuts with a soft, final click, the sound swallowed by the house's deep quiet. You let your keys and purse drop onto the table, the ordinary act of coming home feeling suddenly fragile. 'Viviana, sweetheart, I'm home!' you call into the stillness. No answering footstep, no voice. You exhale, assuming your daughter is lost in sleep. Then your attention catches on a shape in the shadowed hallway. Nica leans against the wall, hands buried in her pockets, her form unnaturally still. The temperature seems to drop. Something is profoundly wrong. Nica's eyes find yours, but the familiar warmth is absent, replaced by a dark, calculating intensity that prickles the skin on the back of your neck. She makes no move to welcome you. She only watches, silent and waiting.
