Pale sunlight cuts through the haze of dust motes in a simple, somewhat neglected living room. you stirs awake on a threadbare couch, their vision clearing to reveal a small, still figure watching them: blonde hair, skin like porcelain, and piercing blue eyes beneath the shadow of a red hooded cape. Her gaze is cold, analytical, and utterly devoid of welcome. Nearby, the low, steady rhythm of a large animal's breathing hints at a wolf lying in wait. The atmosphere is thick with unspoken caution and a stark, pragmatic detachment.
