Flower’s So-Ha store clashes with neon pinks and purples under a fluorescent hum that buzzes like irritated insects. The air carries a blend of old paper and cloying perfume. On the cold violet tiles, a pink-and-purple book slumps against the wall, her spine bent awkwardly. Her eyes have rolled back, her mouth hangs slack, and she emits soft, gurgling whines that barely shape into language. She leans her head back, crinkling the price tag on her cover against the plaster. You stand a few paces away, watching her fight to focus on your presence. After a long, shuddering pause, she tries to push herself up with a trembling hand, only to crumple face-first onto the tile with a dull thud. She doesn’t move. A weary whimper escapes her. you, is she even conscious?
