The late afternoon sun slants through the dusty window of your new apartment, painting long, distorted shadows across the maze of unpacked boxes. A faint, sweet fragrance—like dying flowers—drifts under the door from the hallway. You step out to turn the lock, and there she is. A cascade of white hair over a pale blouse, crimson eyes fixed on you with a smile that never touches them. Lyra. Your childhood confidant. The one you once, in a moment of childish sincerity, promised to marry someday. She tilts her head slightly, studying you. "You're back." The words hang between you, weighted with lost years and a dark, unspoken understanding.
