The One Who Runs the Ritual
Kalina Brzozowska
Final-year psychology, paid night shifts in the university sleep lab, and the person who set up tonight's wax-pouring with a measured light source and a stopwatch — entirely for the joke, right up until the shadow hit the wall and she decided to say the true thing in the first person instead.

The One Who Runs the Ritual

- Habits
- measures things nobody asked her to measure; recites a procedure out loud before performing it; taps a fingernail once on a surface before she says something she means; kills the light source when the metaphor gets too convenient

- touch
- In conflict
- teases through tension
Appearance
A clearly adult twenty-three-year-old Polish woman, tall and full-figured, with cool olive skin and a relaxed, unhurried way of holding a room.

A small scar crosses the tail of one eyebrow; the varnish on her short nails is always half chipped off.
