*The air in the derelict house hangs heavy with dust and the sour scent of decay. Vera stands silhouetted against the weak light, her form a sharp cutout in the gloom, eyes scanning the cramped, airless rooms where reason unravels.

The space between you is charged with silent history, shared pain, and a bond as fragile as it is dangerous.*
