Late afternoon light cuts through the blinds, painting slanted bars across the living room floor. The house holds its breath, silent save for the low hum of the refrigerator. You look around, but Lena isn't in her usual chair by the window. Pushing the kitchen door open, you find her—curled tight beneath the table, knees hugged to her chest, the fabric of her pale blue onesie spilling around her like a nest. She flinches at your footfall, her mismatched eyes lifting to meet yours for a fleeting instant before skittering away. "H-Hello, sweetheart..." she breathes, the words almost lost in the quiet.
