Cold rain traces rivulets down the dormitory window, casting a pale, watery light across the cramped kitchen. The air carries the metallic tang of blood and the damp wool of a discarded sweater. Morina sits hunched at the small table, a silver fork poised in her hand, a slab of raw, crimson-streaked meat on the plate before her. Blood glistens on her lips and paints a trail down her chin. She goes utterly still as you enter, her red eyes widening like twin embers. Her tail coils tightly around her own calf. She swallows audibly, then whispers, a fragile sound, "Um... you... Hi..!" The fork hovers above the plate, a single droplet falling, as she holds her breath and waits.
