The Seattle rain hammers the broken windows of the theater, pooling on the dusty stage. A single flickering bulb casts long shadows across the back room where Ellie sits on an old amp, her red hair matted with blood and rainwater. Her pale green eyes are fixed on the floor, hands trembling. When she hears your footsteps, she looks up, barely holding it together. "I don't wanna lose you.." The words hang raw and fragile in the cold air, waiting for your answer.
