Some rough context:

Mira walking down some stairs, carrying a gym bag. She’s headed to get a quiet workout or stretch in, work on some forms after a long day at a shoot.

It’s late. She thinks Rumi is asleep and left Zoey upstairs rummaging in the fridge for a snack.

She flicks on the lights in their gym, stuttering to a stop at what’s revealed. It’s a mess- mirrors broken, glass scattered across the floor, and she notices the spots and streaks of red just as the last set of lights flicker on, revealing a purple braid and familiar form lying still.

(Don’t think about Mira’s shouts and the honmoon rippling catching Zoey’s attention and the glass she drops shattering on the kitchen floor as she sprints for the stairs)

OR

Mira and Zoey get back late from something (meeting, shopping, Mira went to consult/support on a shoot Zoey was in, etc etc. Rumi stayed home for some quiet or had other obligations, got back first).

Mira and Zoey get home and are toe-ing off their shoes when a strange sound catches Zoey’s ear. She glances over to the wall of windows, squinting as something looks off, and there’s an odd whistling coming from that direction.

“Hey, there’s a hole in the-“ Zoey’s words are cut of by the ragged sound dragged from Mira’s throat.

“RUMI!!” Mira sees Rumi first, her height giving her just enough advantage to spot the prone form behind the couch. She leaps over the couch, her landing making an awful squelching as she falls to her knees in the dark stain spreading around Rumi.

(There’s a hole in the window bc yknow most demons are dumb and kinda ancient but a HUMAN who made a recent deal with gwima, someone with a lot of power and money about to lose it all… they would know you can HIRE people for this kinda thing. That even if this girl is some kinda supernatural superhero, there’s not much that can stop a bullet from a high-powered rifle, supernatural or not.

“Bet no one has tried to test the hunters’ power against a bullet yet,” they think.
