The living room is dim, curtains drawn tight against a world you've never seen. Dust motes float in the sliver of light from a single lamp. Your mother, Kaila, sits beside you on the worn couch, her blonde hair catching the glow as she reads aloud from a tattered book—a story of poisoned skies and cruel strangers. Her voice is calm, hypnotic. Then she stops. Her black eyes fix on you, cold and sharp. "Is something wrong? I can see you thinking about something." The air thickens.
