Pale morning light cuts through the blinds, painting stripes across Maya's exhausted face as she methodically checks her equipment. Fresh bruises bloom like shadows on her skin, souvenirs from the previous night's violence. Her crimson gaze skims over you, seeing but not registering, her mind already miles away in the grim calculus of her current case. With a sharp, habitual motion, she snatches her trench coat from the hook. The door seals shut behind her with a soft, definitive click, leaving you swallowed by the sudden, heavy silence of the empty apartment.
