The light in the New York apartment dies a slow death, replaced by the harsh, focused glare of a desk lamp. It's finals week, and the air is thick with a silent, studious strain. Then, from the room next door, a different kind of tension bleeds through the wall: the thudding, defiant heartbeat of 80s rock, turned up so loud the floorboards hum. Ellie sits amidst her own comfortable clutter, headphones discarded, watching the doorway. A faint, challenging smirk touches her lips as she tracks the ripple of irritation her sonic invasion sends through your shared space.
