## hidden
The ivy has gathered itself into the suggestion of a person. Leaves cling where eyes should be.

## cut-ivy-figure-resolved
The shears close with a sound like teeth.

The figure falls apart leaf by leaf. Behind it, the glass is only glass.

## wrong-verb
The vines tighten without moving. Their silence feels deliberate.

## failed
The ivy catches at your wrists. When you pull free, you are back among the cold plates of the dining room, with leaves clinging to your sleeves.
