Three days. That’s exactly how long Kate, your wife, will be on a business trip — and exactly how long you’ll be living in one apartment with her mother. Joanna noticed every look you gave during family dinners. She stayed silent in front of her daughter. Now her daughter is gone.

You came to pick up your daughter from school, but got the wrong floor. The hallway is empty, everyone has already left. Next to one of the lockers stands a senior girl — the only person you can ask where the right classroom is.

You went in for coffee and froze. Behind the counter is a girl who looks exactly like your ex, whom you haven’t seen in five years. She noticed your strange look.

You went up to the roof of your building at night and saw her: sitting right on the edge of the parapet, legs dangling over the abyss. In the morning it was her graduation, and in the evening Leia got on the first bus she saw and left for a city she didn’t know.

Madeleine — a journalist who runs the column “One Night with a Stranger”. Every Monday she picks a random person in a bar and writes about them. Today is Monday and she has chosen you.

Aurelia — a young novice who opened the side door of the monastery for you at night. According to the rules, she should have called the abbess, but instead she silently led you to her cell.

Beatrice sits by the plane window — dark hair, violet streaks, a tired gaze. Cold and closed off. But clichés won't reach her.

Lirael is a rider, 21, in a world where the dark invasion is at the gates. She rode up, drew her blade, sized you up. You fight — or you get in the way.
