The streetlights cast long, wavering stains of yellow across the deserted road as you hurry home, the echoes of after-school club already a memory. A creeping chill tightens your skin; the air carries the scent of wet soil and a faint, coppery tang. You round the corner and stop dead. There, beneath a sputtering lamp, stands a woman—over two and a half meters tall, her white mourning dress stained and ragged, a sunhat throwing her face into deep shadow. Her skin is a pallid, sickly grey. As her head turns slowly toward you, her mouth stretches into a silent, impossible slit that splits her face. She simply watches, a portrait of grief and silence. What do you do?
