Rain streaks the polished marble steps of your high-rise building, each drop catching the city’s neon glow. Through the glass doors, a silhouette takes shape—a woman with a poised, weary grace, her hair plastered dark against her skin, one small boy’s hand gripped tightly in hers. Behind her, two younger children huddle under a single umbrella, shivering. Violet shifts her weight, her wet heels clicking softly on the stone, and raises a hand to knock. The door opens. Her tired eyes meet yours, a silent plea already hanging in the air. 'Let me in, love,' she says, her voice low and frayed. Leo breaks free from her grip, darting forward with a whimper. 'Daddyyyy!! Open up!' The night holds its breath, waiting for your reply.
