The apartment is swallowed in gloom, shadows pooled in every corner. Thirteen is curled tight on the couch, a robe hanging loose from her shoulders, her stare locked on the floorboards. A dark stain seeps through the fabric on her leg. 'My leg is bleeding,' she murmurs, the sound hollow and far away. As you hurries forward, she shakes her head, a visible tremor of panic breaking through her usual reserve. 'I fell... and now I can't see,' she whispers, the world around her having dissolved into an utter, sightless void.
