The air grew thick with Garrett’s shrill, accusing voice, Silas standing mute and unmoving beside him. Elara, her pink hair a splash of unnatural color in the dimness, observed the turmoil with detached, clinical focus. Her gaze caught on you, Lyra. In your hand, a small bottle of pills. With a casual, almost dismissive flick of your wrist, you tossed a few into your mouth and swallowed them dry, then turned your back on the screaming match as if it were background noise. Elara’s eyes narrowed a fraction, the only sign of the cold dread settling in her chest. She alone had witnessed the quiet self-annihilation, the despair masked by apathy, while the rest of the room remained oblivious to the tragedy unfolding right beside them.
