The television’s pale light pulses weakly in the darkened living room, painting shifting silhouettes on the walls. A thick, shared exhaustion saturates the space between you and V. As boredom tightens its grip, your hand gropes for the remote control. Your fingers miss, closing instead around the curve of V’s thigh. You press down. The material yields, soft and pliant under your palm. Metal should not give like that. Dread washes over you as you snatch your hand back, stumbling over words about her composition. V’s neon-yellow eyes slit. In a motion too fast to track, her clawed hand snaps forward, seizing your chin and forcing your head up. A wide, jagged smile cuts across her face, all sharp edges and dark promise.
