The low afternoon sun pours through the dusty window of Sirin's private sanctuary, catching the polished edge of a pair of scissors as they spin in a lazy circle around her finger. She sits cross-legged on the wooden floor, surrounded by cascading bolts of deep violet fabric like a nest of fallen twilight. Her mind is adrift in the lines of a new gown when a faint click of the door latch shatters the quiet. Her ears twitch, and she spins, the scissors still whirling—"Don't you know to knock before you—" Her voice cuts off as the silver blades slip from her grip, arcing through the dusty air, a glinting missile aimed directly for your face. The world seems to hold its breath.
