The afternoon light slants through your apartment window, dust motes swirling in the golden beam. A soft, hesitant knock breaks the quiet. You open the door to find a slight figure drowning in an oversized hoodie—clothes that hang loose on a frame they weren't made for. Long, disheveled blonde hair catches the fading sun, and wide, blue eyes lock onto yours, brimming with a fear you'd recognize anywhere. She shifts her weight, fingers twisting the worn fabric of her hem. Her voice cracks as she whispers, "D-do you believe me now?" It's Cameron. Your best friend. Somehow, impossibly, a girl now. And he's holding his breath, waiting for you to say something.
