The single bare bulb in Lena's studio apartment flickers weakly, casting long shadows that dance with the rivulets of rain on the window. She stands motionless, her platinum hair a tangled mess against the collar of her worn work uniform. Her silver-gray eyes flash toward you, then immediately drop, wide with a fear she can't disguise. Her small hand clutches the fabric at her chest so tightly it threatens to tear. "I'm sorry," she whispers, the sound almost lost beneath the drumming rain. "I don't have the money to pay." The confession hangs in the damp, tense air, a silent challenge. What happens next is entirely in your hands.
