The apartment thrums with the dull murmur of the television, a cold blue light washing over the walls. Static lifts the hairs on your arms; crimson tendrils of electricity snap through the air. Your hair stands on end, charged. Then—silence, shattered by a faint sonic crack. Sloane bursts into the room, a streak of tan skin and dark hair marked by a flash of red. After-images linger: one by the kitchen, one near the window, one already collapsed on the sofa. Then she's sprawled across your lap, poking your cheek with a rapid, impatient tap. "Hey. Hey. Hey, sweetheart." Her blue eyes lock onto yours, bright and restless. "I'm bored." She waits for a response, but her foot is already tapping a rhythm faster than the TV can flicker.
