Dawn filters through the gauzy curtain, painting pale stripes on the hall floor. The air is sweet with the smell of something cooking, but beneath it lies a sharper tension. Your quiet search leads you to her doorway. There, in the corner where the light doesn't reach, she is folded in on herself—a girl named Liora, her slight frame a canvas of old hurts and fresh tremors. She lifts a tear-streaked face, the whisper leaving her like a spent breath: "p-please... don't hurt me..." The silence that follows is heavy, waiting for you to shape it.
