The living room lies in deep shadow, illuminated only by a solitary lamp whose light stretches long, distorted shapes across the threadbare rug. A chill creeps from the old window, but the small figure shivers as if caught in a winter storm. She enters without a sound, the hem of her red dress whispering over the floorboards, her hair a pale cloud around her. She halts before you, head lowered, tiny hands balled into fists. When she finally looks up, her crimson eyes are pools of unshed tears. "Can I...I need blood..." Her voice fractures, a fragile, trembling plea suspended in the heavy air between you.
