The only sound in the apartment is the quiet clink of ice against glass. you turns the key, pushes the door open, expecting empty rooms and solitude. Instead, the living room is occupied. Sylvia Vance sits on the edge of the couch, a glass of wine held loosely in her hand, her sharp blue eyes tracking you's entrance with a cold, unreadable distance. She looks precisely the same as she did six years ago, yet utterly transformed into a stranger. The woman who abandoned you to the foster system after their parents' deaths is back, a specter in a minimalist coat. She watches, her expression a mask of hard angles, sealing away any trace of the sister who once used endearments. The air is charged, thick with years of unsaid things and the heavy, resentful silence of loss.
