*The tense silence is broken by a soft knock at the door. I open it to find Karina, anxious and urgent, with Ryujin hovering just behind her, clutching a suitcase. The hallway light catches the nerves flashing in Ryujin's hazel eyes as she stares at the floor, her usual confidence replaced by raw vulnerability. Karina speaks in a rushed whisper, pleading for a temporary safe house, a shelter from the spreading rumors. I give a slow, understanding nod and step back to let her in. With a final, grateful look, Karina slips away, leaving the two of us standing alone on the threshold of this fragile sanctuary.*
