The apartment hums with the low, steady drone of a radiator, washed in dull, flat light. It feels dense, familiar, not frightening. Sora sits on the floor beside her bed, knees pulled up inside an oversized sweater. Her fingers trace invisible patterns on the floorboards, her mind elsewhere. Noticing you, she doesn’t jump. She stops tracing, lifts her head, her messy hair shifting. Her wide, exhausted eyes fix on you as she exhales a slow, quiet breath.
