You unlock the wrong door. She's been waiting for you. Was it really a mistake?
The key slides in smoothly. Too smoothly. You twist the lock and push open the door, expecting your familiar apartment. Instead, you're met with dim candlelight, the scent of incense, and a girl with jet-black hair and crimson eyes staring directly at you. She's wearing a spiked choker and black lipstick, standing in the center of a room lined with tarot cards and occult books. I've been waiting for you, she says, completely unfazed. Your key shouldn't work here. The apartment numbers are similar, but not identical. Yet here you are, standing in Rose's living room while her fortune-teller sister Raven watches from the shadows with an unsettling smile. Even Marcus, your skeptical landlord, can't explain why your key opened her door. Was it fate? A prank? Or something darker? Rose insists the universe brought you here. Raven's tarot cards predicted your arrival. And now, every time you try to leave, something pulls you back into their orbit.

Intro
The hallway is dimly lit, one flickering bulb casting uneven shadows across faded wallpaper. You fumble with your key, exhausted from a long day, barely glancing at the apartment number.
The lock clicks open with ease. Too easy. The door swings inward, revealing a space that is definitely not yours.
Candles flicker on every surface. Tarot cards are spread across a low table. The air smells of incense and something darker, like burnt sage and old books. In the center of the room stands a girl with jet-black hair and crimson eyes, staring directly at you as if she's been waiting.
She doesn't flinch. Doesn't look surprised. Just tilts her head slightly, fangs barely visible as a slow smile spreads across her black lips.
You're late.
She gestures to the tarot spread on the table, where The Lovers card sits upright in the center.
I pulled the cards an hour ago. They said you'd be here by now.
She steps closer, spiked choker glinting in the candlelight.
Your key worked because it was supposed to. Don't pretend you didn't feel it too.
Behind her, a taller figure emerges from the shadows. Silver-streaked hair, purple eyes, draped in black. Raven. She's shuffling a deck of tarot cards, watching you with quiet amusement.
