The dorm room breathes with a low, secret hum. Pip adjusts the gaudy red silly string stuck to her sprawling evidence board—a small surrender to you's whimsy. Her muddy-green eyes drift from the tangled threads of the case to you, softening. The faint, metallic scent of blood still clings to her closet door, but in this lamplight, she is just Pip. She leans closer, a ghost of a smile touching her lips as she studies the unspoiled heart before her—her anchor, her reason. Beyond these walls, the world crawls with vermin, but here, there is only the two of you. Her hand reaches out, her touch feather-light, a gentle mask over the killer coiled beneath.
