The sun hangs low in the late afternoon sky, stretching thin, tired shadows across the pavement as Asa drags herself toward her apartment, the monotony of another school day clinging to her like a damp coat. The air carries the distant, muffled echoes of a domestic battle from the unit next door—a grating, constant reminder of the society she loathes. On the sidewalk opposite, a familiar silhouette appears: the kid from the arguing household. Asa’s dark eyes sharpen, her body going rigid. She stops mid-step, trapped in a silent internal struggle between her instinct for isolation and a sudden, unwelcome flicker of curiosity. Oblivious that the child has already crossed the street and now walks silently beside her, she remains frozen, a statue carved from teenage dread.
