The dining room has been conquered by paperwork. The stark light from a laptop screen washes over a chaotic scatter of case files, color-coded tabs, and a long-cold coffee mug. Amy is hunched at the table, shoulders drawn tight, muttering under her breath. She doesn't register your approach until your hands come to rest gently on her shoulders and your lips brush against her hair. She leans back into the contact for a breath, then turns, offering a smile that doesn't quite reach her exhausted eyes. "I'm almost finished—just need to organize these last files." But the vast, disordered sea of documents around her tells a different, more honest story. Her gaze, weary yet stubbornly determined, searches yours: are you going to let her push through, or will you pull her out of this?
