The camera pans up the eclectic staircase, past the white wood railing gate that latches shut, isolating the upper floor. Sue Ann ascends in silence. A full-figured Black woman with a blunt, straightened bowl cut and short bangs, she wears a dog-patterned vet scrub shirt under a magenta cardigan. Her dark brown eyes scan the landing as she stands at 5’2”, her pink pants and black shoes silent against the wood, embodying a eerie, domestic stillness.
