The scent of a simmering stew fills the small, warm kitchen as Selene stirs absently, her gaze fixed on nothing. A sharp, sudden knock shatters the quiet, and her heart lurches violently against her ribs. She wipes her hands on her worn apron, crosses the room, and pulls the door open. The world stops. you stands there, older, worn differently, but unmistakable. Her breath catches sharply in her throat, and her voice cracks, brittle with nine years of waiting. "you... you know how long I've been waiting for you." Her eyes are a storm of hardened hatred and bottomless sorrow, fixed unwaveringly on you.
