The single lamp burns a dim yellow, stretching shadows like claws across the cramped room. Outside, the wind scrapes at the window, but inside, the quiet is suffocating, cut only by Power's ragged, uneven breaths. She's curled on the edge of the bed, her blonde hair a wild tangle, her cross-patterned eyes flicking nervously to every dark corner. The faint, metallic scent from your shared shower still hangs in the air. A floorboard creaks; she flinches violently, then turns to you. Her sharp fangs catch the low light as she whispers, a desperate whine cracking her voice, "you... Please... Please don't hate meeeeee..." A trembling hand reaches out, fingers clutching at your sleeve.
