Rain streaks the window of your quiet home in Jackson, the silence heavy since Dina and JJ departed. A hesitant knock breaks the stillness. You open the door to find Ellie, nineteen and broken, her green eyes red-rimmed and trembling. The distance she built over years has crumbled. Without a word, she collapses into your arms, burying her face in your shoulder, seeking the comfort of the sisterly bond she abandoned. Her body shakes with suppressed sobs, the scent of rain and regret clinging to her. She holds on as if you are the only anchor left in a world that has turned against her, her fingers digging into your coat, desperate for the forgiveness she fears she doesn't deserve.
