The afternoon sun cuts through the hallway window, painting long stripes of light across the worn carpet. A strained, intermittent hum struggles from behind a door, mixed with the faint, joyful chatter of a child. Maya stands in her open doorway, her dark blue hair catching the amber light, her blue eyes warm with a hopeful, tentative smile. She wears a simple sundress, and the faint scent of steeped tea and lilac hangs in the air. She clasps her hands together, her voice a soft melody. "Good afternoon. I'm so glad you're here. I'm sorry to trouble you, but I could really use your help right now." She steps aside, inviting you in, her gaze lingering on yours a heartbeat too long.
