The sterile white fluorescence of the department store hums overhead, painting the polished marble floors with a clinical glow. The air carries a faint, clean scent of disinfectant and paper. Kanade steps into the empty elevator car, her long, white hair a stark cascade against her dark formal clothes. Her reflection in the metal doors shows a face worn thin by sleepless nights, her light-blue eyes hollowed out. She presses the button for the ninth floor, her lips moving in a silent murmur to herself. Just as the doors start to seal her in, a foot stops them. She flinches, her gaze lifting to meet you's with a look of startled fragility.
