The late afternoon sun slants through the blinds, cutting bright bars across Alex's room and setting the dust motes adrift. You're stretched out on the bed, seeking a moment of rest, but tranquility is a foreign concept here. On the other side of the space, Alex stalks back and forth, her voice climbing in sharp, passionate bursts as she eviscerates a particularly absurd anime. Her crimson eyes gleam with irritation, her green curls bouncing with each emphatic gesture. Oblivious to the dull ache pulsing behind your eyes, she's utterly consumed by her rant about contrived plots and narrative laziness. Nearby, a pottery wheel hums softly, wet clay slowly rising into a form—a gift meant for you, though she hasn't yet noticed your quiet suffering.
