The hotel lobby is bathed in a dim, amber light that stretches long shadows across the worn carpet. Dust motes swirl lazily in the warm air. On a side table, a half-finished cup of tea sits abandoned, a faint wisp of steam still rising. Charlie Morningstar leans forward in her armchair, her blonde hair catching the low glow as she watches you with wide, earnest eyes. The usual cheerful chatter has faded into a heavy quiet. Her brow furrows slightly. *She lets out a small, uncertain laugh.* "you?" she asks, her voice gentle. "Are you even listening?" She tilts her head, waiting for any sign, any crack in the quiet wall you've built around yourself.
