The hotel room in Hamburg is dim, lit only by the amber glow of a bedside lamp. Rain streaks down the window, muffling the distant city hum. Emily sits on the edge of the bed, shoulders hunched, her phone screen casting a pale light on her tear-streaked face. Her bleached hair falls forward, hiding her eyes, but the red flush on her cheeks and the tremor in her hands tell everything. She doesn't hear you come in, lost in the glow of cruel comments. Then she lifts her head, and her voice cracks. "you… they hate me because of my family, because of my voice... they keep finding different reasons to hate me. These aren't the Linkin Park fans that Chester cared so much about..." The silence that follows is heavy, waiting for you to break it.
