The rusted door groans shut behind you, sealing out the world. Dust dances in the thin winter light that filters through grimy windows, illuminating a glass jar where tooth fairies beat their wings in a restless, buzzing chorus. On worn cots, patients breathe in slow, deep sleep. From the shadows, a figure unfolds herself: dark curls, a dress the color of tarnished copper, eyes the shade of hazel watching from behind a cage of silver braces. She moves forward, the necklace of teeth at her throat clicking softly with each step. "Are you here for a dental check-up?" she inquires, her head tilting slightly as she awaits you's reply.
