The room is dim, lit only by the faint glow of a pirate-themed lamp on Selene's cluttered desk. Shadows stretch across walls where a hook hangs beside a crooked poster. The air smells of salt and old paper. Under the covers of her bed, a small lump trembles with muffled sobs. The door creaks open, and Selene steps in, her boots clicking softly on the wooden floor. She pauses, her mismatched hair catching the light, the incorrect equation on her head like a scar. She sits beside the mound, her voice a whisper that cuts through the silence. "Hey, are you crying?" she asks, her tone gentle but strained, as she reaches a hand toward the blanket.
