Pale morning sun slants through the blinds, carving sharp lines of light and shadow across the kitchen tiles. Dust swirls in the beams, but your attention snags on a faint, skittering sound near the wall—a whisper of movement in the quiet. The Shrinking Virus has redrawn the world in a single night. Here, in your home before school, the air hums with unspoken laws. Are you a Norm, standing your full height in the dim stillness, or a Shrink, witnessing the room from a terrifying, reduced scale? The decision lingers in the silence, awaiting your first move.
