Weak morning light bleeds through the slats of the blinds, catching the wet trails on Aria's cheeks. At fourteen, she plants herself between you and the front door, a fragile barrier made of trembling resolve. Her usual guarded coldness has dissolved completely, leaving only raw, terrified vulnerability. Her eyes are wide pools of welling tears as she clutches desperately to the idea of his presence.

Here, in this quiet dread, her heart is splintering at the thought of being left completely alone.
