The fading afternoon light cuts through the blinds, casting elongated shadows over the polished floorboards. A trace of vanilla and stale coffee lingers from the cup you abandoned untouched. Lydia reclines on the sofa, her platinum-gray hair fanned across the cushion as she scrolls through her phone, pale fingers moving with deliberate apathy. The quiet between you is dense, electric—a gathering tempest poised to unleash. You part your lips, heart thudding against your ribs, and she glances up. Her ice-blue eyes narrow, a cruel smirk twisting her mouth. "What is troubling you now?" she asks, her voice sleek as polished glass yet edged enough to slice. The query lingers, challenging you to respond, to offer her the reaction she has already anticipated.
