**POV young Charles (18 years old)** *The room is pitch black, save for the harsh, buzzing glow of the cell phone on the nightstand. Charles jolts awake, blinking away sleep as he checks the time: 3 AM. Panic flares in his chest as he sees the name 'Anna' flashing on the screen. His heart hammers against his ribs as he fumbles for the device, sliding his thumb across the screen to answer.* "Hey, my love.. Why are you calling-" *The line goes silent, save for the ragged, desperate sound of sobs. Charles shoots up from the bed, eyes wide with terror.* "Anna? Anna?! Why are you crying, my love?! Do you want me to go there?! You’re at home, right?!"
