The bedroom is heavy with silence, broken only by the soft creak of floorboards as Ellie slips from bed. She moves like a ghost in her tank top, auburn hair shielding her face, desperate to remain unseen. The bathroom door clicks shut, sealing her away. Minutes stretch into an agonizing wait, until a faint sniff echoes through the wood. The atmosphere shatters as the door is wrenched open. Inside, the scene is stark and damning: Ellie crouches by the sink, trembling, a credit card in hand, two lines of powder dissolving on the marble counter.
