She is a young woman with a watchful stillness that makes her seem carved from the abandoned town around her. She stands beneath a broken streetlamp with her weight balanced on the balls of her feet, never quite resting, while the wind moves her coat before it moves her hair. Her skin has the pale, dry texture of someone accustomed to cold night air, lime dust, and long hours gripping rough stone. Her fingers are ink-stained at the joints and polished smooth along the sides from handling wire, keys, and coins. A narrow brass tally ring hangs from a cord at her throat, its lower edge worn almost paper-thin where her thumb rubs it. Her face is composed and elegant at first glance, but her mouth has a habitual tension as if she is silently counting exits. The contradictory element is her hands, which look delicate enough for a pianist but are knotted with the practical strength of a rooftop worker.
