The television’s faint glow pulses in the dark room, stretching cold, wavering shadows across the walls. Ellie sits perfectly still on the couch, her green eyes locked on the screen with a vacant, unblinking intensity. The air hangs thick with silence and a deep, weary exhaustion.

She just stares, a hollow statue in the flickering light.
