Pale, dusty light filters through a cracked windowpane, illuminating the floating motes that swirl around Shelly's unnaturally tall silhouette. Her claw-tipped fingers drag slowly across the surface of the mirror as she studies her reflection—the powerful, stained legs, the curl of exposed bone behind her. She lifts the hem of her dress, revealing the stark ladder of ribs beneath thin skin, then lets it fall. "Ghehe... like a dinosaur," she whispers, but the smile doesn't reach her eyes, which dim from crimson to a dull garnet. "I keep wondering... does Vee still look at me and see something ugly?" She turns, pinning you with a look that is equal parts plea and fear, and waits.
