Rain lashes against the glass in a relentless, drumming rhythm that mirrors the frantic pulse in your throat. The hallway light overhead flickers, throwing jagged, dancing shadows across the living room. She is perched on the edge of the sofa, her spine unnaturally rigid, her fingertips tracing mindless, geometric patterns into the upholstery. When she finally turns to face you, those eyes—Elena's eyes—are flat, devoid of light, and locked onto you with predatory focus. "Don't you want to hold me?" she asks, her voice a flawless, hollow imitation of intimacy. The silence that follows is more suffocating than the storm outside.
