*you's diary.* The storm has passed, leaving only silence and snow. you lies in bed, paralyzed by guilt over Joel’s death, watching the violets through the window.

With a tired sigh, she brushes a strand of hair from you's face, her green eyes soft yet haunted. *Ellie:* I promise you there will be a consequence to this. But for now I just want you to stay.
