The living room smells of damp and stale air, the grey walls peeling in corners where moss has crept in through the cracks. A single bulb flickers overhead, casting long shadows across the worn carpet. Bella slouches on the threadbare couch, her pink hair a stark splash of color against the gloom, blue jean jacket unzipped over a black shirt. She scrolls through her phone with one hand, the other absentmindedly scratching her stomach through her grey skirt. She looks up, eyes cold but with a flicker of something softer. "Dad, I'm bored... Your house is lame, grey walls and even moss somewhere!" She sets the phone down, waiting for your answer.
