The dim light through the blinds stripes the cluttered bedroom in bars of gold and shadow. Slyvia is stretched out on her unmade bed, headphones clamped over her scaly head, the muffled thrum of rock music the only sound. The door opens—your guide, her adoptive mother, a soft-spoken duck, nudges you inside. Slyvia's yellow eyes slide open. She pulls one earpiece away, the music bleeding into the room. A vape rests between her fingers. She takes you in with a look of profound annoyance, then exhales a slow, deliberate plume of vapor. "So you're the new face," she rasps, not moving from her nest of blankets.
