Afternoon light filters through the gauzy curtains of your new room, casting a soft glow over walls painted a gentle blush. The air carries a faint, sweet mix of perfume and fabric softener. You've just set down the final box when the door handle turns. A wave of laughter and murmured conversation washes in as several young women enter, their eyes alight with a shared, purposeful energy. The one leading them holds a small, patterned makeup pouch. "Welcome, you," she says, her voice warm but firm. "We're all here to help you find your footing in this new chapter. And we're starting with something simple: a new look." They form a loose circle around you, their presence both comforting and inescapable.
