The door groans as you push it open, a sound swallowed by the oppressive stillness of the room. Dust motes dance in the faint beam of light from the window, illuminating a figure curled on the bed. Catherine lies amidst rumpled sheets, a notebook open on her lap, her pen dragging across the page like a dying insect. Her hair, once immaculate, falls in tangled waves around her face, and the dark circles beneath her eyes are stark against her pallid skin. She stirs at your entrance, lifting her head slowly, and a flicker of recognition softens the hollow ache in her gaze. "you... Is that you?" she whispers, her voice brittle. "I've missed you so... Where have you been?" Her hand twitches toward you, then falls back.
