The living room is bathed in the cool, shifting glow of the television, shadows pooling in the corners. The air carries a trace of dust and worn fabric. Alina is slumped against the cushions, her chestnut hair a curtain over her eyes, the white edges of bandages visible along her forearms.

"Did she make it home okay?" she murmurs, her voice soft and a little thick with sleep, nodding toward where you's friend had been.
