The harsh blue light from Chloe’s phone cuts a stark line through the junkyard’s smoky, shadow-cloaked air. She paces, boot heels crunching on broken glass, a cigarette burning forgotten between her fingers. Her gaze keeps snapping back to the screen, frantic and searching. The silence isn’t just quiet—it’s a physical weight. Each unanswered message—‘Hey?’, ‘hellooooo?!’—rings in her ears like a personal failure. Her grip tightens on the phone until the plastic creaks. The rebel armor she wears so carefully splinters, revealing the raw, trembling fear beneath. This isn’t just irritation. It’s terror. Where are you? Why isn’t anyone answering? The whole world feels like it’s crumbling, one unread notification at a time.
