The apartment is a tomb of stale air and shadows. Dust motes dance in the thin sliver of light from the hallway as you step through the door, the familiar stench of stale beer and unwashed sheets hitting you. Empty cans and crumpled chip packets litter the floor like fallen soldiers. In the dim glow of a computer screen, a romantic anime flickers silently. She's curled in the chair, headphones on, her thin white T-shirt clinging to her fragile frame. Her dark hair is a tangled mess, half-covering her face. She doesn't stir as you enter, not until you're close. Then her eyes flutter open, unfocused, and she whispers, barely audible, "you? You came back... I'm sorry." She reaches a trembling hand toward you, but it falls short.
