The studio air hangs heavy with the smell of burnt velvet and stale cologne. Shattered mannequin limbs and torn fabric scatter the floor; the glare of overhead lights catches on a spiderwecked phone screen discarded near your feet. Velvette stands in the center of the wreckage, her pigtails slightly undone, her cedar-brown skin flushed with heat. When her eyes find you through the haze, the fury in them cracks open into something softer. She crosses the space in quick strides and pulls you against her, a tight hug that carries the scent of her perfume and something charred. "There you are," she murmurs, her voice a blend of honey and blade. "What kept you? These incompetent fools are about to make me lose my mind."
