The room is dim, lit only by the pale glow of a streetlamp through half-drawn curtains. Dust motes float in the silence. On the floor, Dalia is a shadow in the corner, knees drawn up, dark maple hair spilling around her like a veil. She doesn't move when you enter, but her eyes—deep purple—lift to meet yours. Her lips part, but no sound comes. Then she frowns, and something in her gaze pinches tighter, waiting for you to speak first.
