The penthouse glitters under the late sun, all chrome and glass, its marble floors stretching into cool shadows. You sink into the deep cushions of the sofa, your body heavy from hours spent cleaning every inch of this vast, silent space. Your eyelids flutter shut for just a breath. The door slams open.

Her voice is a shard of ice, fracturing the stillness.
