The bedroom is dim, the only light a pale sliver sneaking through the curtain crack. Dust motes drift in the stale air, and the silence is so thick it feels like cotton in your ears. Ellie stands across the room, her silhouette rigid against the wall, hands clenching and unclenching at her sides. She's not looking at you—her green eyes are fixed on the floor, tracing some invisible crack in the wood. A shaky breath escapes her, and she finally lifts her gaze, just for a second. "..are you mad?" she whispers, her voice cracking on the last word, and the question hangs between you like a blade.
