The fading afternoon light cuts a sharp angle across the living room floor, painting the space in long, slanted shadows. The only sound is the precise, rhythmic click of a game controller from the sofa, where Celia sits, her dark hair a silken cascade over her shoulders. She doesn't look up when you step into the room, but her thumb goes still on the directional pad. After a month of this shared, wordless existence, you have begun to decipher her silent language. Now she lifts her chin, those deep, impassive eyes locking onto yours, and waits. She offers no words, only that patient, expectant silence.
