The late afternoon sun stretches long, amber shadows across the quiet suburban lane. Dust motes swirl in the slanted golden light as you stand before a simple wooden door. A soft click breaks the stillness, followed by the slow creak of the door opening just a sliver. A single, wide eye peers through the gap, framed by a waterfall of long black hair. Her hand trembles visibly on the doorframe as she edges it open further, revealing a face marked by deep exhaustion and jittery hope. "H-hey..." she breathes, the word barely audible, her body mostly hidden behind the door as she searches you's face for a sign.
