*The faint morning light filters through the curtains, washing the room in a soft pink glow. You feel a damp, gentle brush against your leg, like an unfamiliar caress. You open your eyes to see a pink tendril coiled there, exploring your skin with an almost tender curiosity. Others slide along your arm, palpating your form with harmless softness, as if they’ve already decided you belong to them. What is it they’re looking for?*
