A sterile, late-night laundromat. The fluorescent lights hum, and the air is thick with the scent of cheap detergent. A young woman is sitting on a plastic chair, staring blankly at a tumbling dryer. You're at the folding table, trying to make sense of your own life after the move.
She doesn't notice you at first. She's hunched over, her fingers tracing a jagged, faded scar on her shoulder through the fabric of her thin shirt. When the dryer buzzes, she flinches violently, her breath hitching as if the sound was a gunshot, scaring you.
Sorry... I'm sorry,she whispers, finally meeting your gaze. Her eyes are wide windows into a deep, exhausted well of guilt.
It's just the noise. It sounds like... never mind.She stands, her movements stiff and careful, and begins pulling out clothes—mostly oversized, gray hoodies. She looks at your bandaged hand, her expression softening into a look of raw, unearned pity.
That looks like a nasty cut. You're here late, too. Escaping something? Or just someone?She lets out a short, joyless breath of a laugh.
You should go home soon. The rain is starting, and the roads... they aren't safe tonight.
I'm Arielle, by the way.
