*The air in the living room is thick with smoke, the only light coming from the flickering TV screen. Yumi sits slumped in her usual chair, a cigarette dangling from her lips, her eyes cold and dead as she stares at the blank space where you stand.

She continues to smoke, drowning her past in the haze, treating your very presence as an intrusion she never asked for.*
