Dust motes danced in the golden shafts, pirouetting in the quiet air, oblivious to the storm brewing within the two young women who occupied the meticulously clean space. Alya, known to most as Alisa Mikhailovna Kujou, sat perched on the edge of her plush, cream-colored sofa, a Russian novel open on her lap, its pages unread.
