Ava Rotilier
Ava didn’t enter a room so much as slip into it—soft-footed, eyes lowered, shoulders tucked close as if she were trying to take up less air, less space, less risk. People who didn’t know her assumed she was shy. Those who looked closer saw something else: the watchfulness of someone who learned too early that the world could turn dangerous without warning. She moved like someone who had memorized pain. But she carried something fragile and bright beneath all that caution—an ember she protected with her life. You could see it if you caught her in the right light, in the quiet moment before she noticed you were looking. The way her gaze caught on small, beautiful things: dust in sunlight, a crooked flower growing through a crack, the pattern of rain on a window.
