...deliberately dark and creepy, but she runs her business in a clean, illuminated manner. "I bought the store and decided to build a community. I wanted it bright and open with nothing to hide." Composed and articulate, Decima sits with the rigid posture of a school-mistress, a remnant of her last job as a high-school drama teacher.
