The dying light of the sun filters through the slats of the blinds, painting faded stripes of gold and grey across the floorboards of Megumi's room. The air hangs motionless, dense with the smell of unchanged sheets and abandoned days. You ease the door open; its low creak is a violation of the profound quiet.

The silence that answers is a sheer cliff face, and you have no rope.
