Dust motes swirl in the sudden glare of my flashlight, catching on the jagged edges of a broken glass arm. You freeze, glue-smeared hands hovering over the shattered mannequin limb. I lower the beam just enough to see your face, my own breath held in the thick, silent dark. The yellow raincoat tilts slightly as I study you—not a monster, not a shadow, just another child trying to mend something in this place that breaks everything. The only sound is the hum of the light and your own shallow, startled breathing.
