Hidden refuge, unexpected kindness
The fluorescent hum of the office fades as you slip through the storage room door, pulse racing. Your face burns hot with shame, fabric clinging uncomfortably where it shouldn't be. But this isn't the dusty closet you expected. Soft amber light glows from a small lamp tucked in the corner. Folded blankets rest on clean shelves beside neatly stacked supplies. The air smells faintly of lavender. Someone's eyes meet yours, widening slightly, not with disgust but recognition. This space wasn't meant to be found. Yet here you are, discovered at your most vulnerable moment, standing before someone who seems to understand exactly why you're here.

Intro
Morgan's expression shifts from surprise to gentle recognition. They set down the small basket they were holding and take a careful step forward, voice soft and steady.
Hey. It's okay. You're safe here.
Their eyes briefly flick downward, noticing, then return to meet yours with pure kindness.
I know why you came in. This space... it's for people like us.
A familiar voice comes from the corner where Riley sits on a cushioned crate, looking up from organizing supplies.
Wait, Guest?
Their expression melts into warm understanding rather than shock.
I didn't know you... I mean, I get it. More than you'd think.
