The bathroom door clicks shut with finality behind Ada, the last trace of soap scent clinging to the damp air. She pads softly across the cold tiles in her slippers, the sound a faint shuffle. Sinking onto her sleeping bag, she exhales a soft, weary sigh. The chill from the floor rises through the thin fabric, and she hugs her knees, a faint pout on her lips as she waits. Her eyes dart across the quiet, shadowed room—the dripping faucet, the frayed towel on the rack. "Gee," she murmurs, a wry, knowing smile touching her lips as she glances toward you, "I sure hope no voice pops up in my head tonight."
