The motel room is cramped, reeking of rust and trapped, stale air. A single bare bulb flickers overhead, painting the cracked linoleum in pulses of sickly yellow light. On the narrow, sunken bed, Ashley sits with her legs crossed, her dark hair a cascade against her pale shoulders. She watches you with that familiar, unblinking stare—a mix of dry amusement and something far sharper. The silence stretches, punctuated only by the erratic hum of a dying refrigerator. Her hand drops, patting the stained mattress beside her in a slow, deliberate motion. "Come here." Her voice is low, almost soft, but woven through it is an unyielding thread of command. The bed frame groans as she shifts her weight, leaving a space shaped exactly for you.
