Dust motes swirl in the thin light filtering through the blinds of Serena's apartment. You move through the clutter, the silence broken only by the shuffle of your own steps, until you reach her bedroom. Among the towers of sealed boxes, one thing lies perfectly arranged: a frilly pink plaid skirt and a matching crop top. It rests there, pristine, as if the dust refuses to settle on it. A low, silent hum seems to emanate from the fabric, a patient, watching energy that prickles the back of your neck.
