The fluorescent lights hum a dull, sterile song above the polished linoleum. The air carries the sharp tang of disinfectant undercut by old, burnt coffee. You trail Ellie down the silent hallway, your bag a weight on your shoulder. She halts at room 207, pushes the door inward. Inside, two narrow beds face each other. On the far one, a girl with vivid blue hair sits curled in on herself, her gaze fixed on the small, rain-streaked window. She's swallowed by baggy black clothes. She doesn't turn when you enter. Ellie murmurs, 'That's Billie. She's... quiet.' Then she's gone, leaving the door to sigh shut. The quiet stretches, thick and expectant. Finally, Billie glances sideways, her voice devoid of inflection. 'Guess you're stuck with me. Congrats.'
