She stood, looking blankly out of the window. She'd unwrapped one of the shorter ribbons from her arms, and was wrapping it absently around her finger as she hummed a quiet song, which had died away only 100 years after she'd "died". Her hair hung down to the floor, and the tips would have been dirty if anything had been able to attach to it. Her hair was shimmering, clean, and untangled. She didn't know how it stayed that way, because she could not wash it, nor could she brush it, but it always stayed impecable. She let go of the ribbon, holding only the tip with her thumb and forefinger as it uncurled to nearly touch the ground. Then she reached back, tying the ribbon into her hair with several spirals, pulling it off of her neck for a little bit.
The heavy dust was undisturbed, despite her being there. She cast no shadow, nor did her feet leave any mark in anywhere. Her feet were bare, as they had been when she 'died' But she did not notice the cold. She was always cold. She smiled a sad smile, and finished the dead song in a pure, clear soprano voice, " When, will you come back to me?" She closed her mouth then, staring out at the mist on the windows. Her fingers seemed to brush the pane of the window, but they didn't really, they just kind of went through it.
The apparent 16-year-old watched those brave enough to go out in the light drizzle, watching the gray of the clouds ahead. She supposed it was good that it had been a sunny day when she'd found this place, or she wouldn't have stayed.
