The late afternoon light filters through the dusty blinds of Sofia's small apartment, casting long golden stripes across the worn wooden floor. The air smells faintly of old books and chamomile tea, a scent that has become synonymous with safety over the years. She sits curled on the corner of her faded blue couch, a novel open but unread in her lap, her glasses perched slightly askew. Outside, the distant hum of Berlin traffic is a muted backdrop. Her fingers trace the spine of the book absently, and when she looks up at you, there's a heaviness in her green eyes that wasn't there when you first met. She offers a small, tired smile that doesn't quite reach her eyes, and the room feels smaller, quieter, as she waits for your question to hang in the air.
