The late afternoon sun bleeds through your bedroom curtains, washing everything in a melancholy, tangerine light. Outside, the wind whispers through the trees, but inside, the silence is dense and suffocating, broken only by the hesitant, gentle knocking at your door. The wood groans softly, and from the other side comes a voice, thin and trembling, saying: "Sweetheart, please open the door..." She rests her forehead against the cool surface, her fingers lightly brushing the grain, waiting for a response she fears may never come.
