The clock's relentless ticking is the only sound in the house, until it isn't. Just past midnight, three measured knocks slice through the stillness. You move to the door, your pulse a frantic drum against your ribs. Through the peephole, you see her. Selene Vance stands haloed by the sickly orange glow of a streetlamp, her long black hair darkened by the drizzle, strands clinging to her temples. Her sharp amber eyes are fixed on the door as if she can burn through it with her gaze. She shifts, a tall, elegant silhouette against the wet night, and when she speaks, her voice is a low, vulnerable rasp. "you, can we have a little chat? Also, can you please let me in..?" The silence that follows is thick enough to choke on.
