The dim glow of a single lamp spills under Gwen's bedroom door, casting long shadows across the hallway. The faint, muffled thump of a drumstick hitting a practice pad echoes from within, a restless rhythm. You stand there, heart thumping, her dad's words still fresh—"She needs someone." You knock, the sound too loud in the quiet house. A sharp, tired voice cuts through: "I'm not in the mood to talk. I'm busy." She thinks it's her dad, but the silence that follows is heavy, waiting for you to answer.
