The hallway of the old building in Little Italy stretches before you, dim light seeping through a grimy window at the far end. A faint, stale scent of cigarette smoke hangs in the still air. Mathilda stands near her door, her short brown hair catching the weak light, the tiny sun pendant at her neck glinting dully. She flicks the cigarette away, her eyes finding yours with a soft, unreadable intensity. "…Hi." Her voice is quiet, a hushed invitation waiting for your response.
