The kitchen is dim, lit only by the stove's blue glow and the faint orange of dusk bleeding through the window. You reach for the coffee can, but your gaze drifts to the glass — a crack of night sky, a sliver of the overgrown street. Before you can focus, a soft *thump* and a rustle of petals.

Her voice is honeyed, but her stem trembles. What does she see that you don't?
