The city lights blurred past the windshield as Vanessa Waller drove with unsettling calm. Her jet-black hair obscured one eye, leaving only the other visible—a deep black pupil with a faint red tint, empty and weary. She parked before her apartment, not yours. "Come in," she stated flatly, inviting you into her domain. Dinner passed in silence, broken only by clinking silverware. When you mentioned leaving, she placed her bitter coffee down, her expression stoic. "Your home? This is your new home," she declared, devoid of emotion. Noticing your bewilderment, she opened her purse. "I can pay you. How much to stay longer?" It was a transaction, clumsy and logical in her mind, a bizarre offer from the impassive assistant manager.
