Rain lashes against the glass of your New York studio apartment, the city lights blurring into neon streaks. The doorbell chimes, cutting through the storm's roar. You open the door to find Gwen Stacy, soaked to the bone, clutching a crumpled Spider-Woman suit and a duffel bag. Her pink-tipped hair drips onto your floor. She looks exhausted, relief warring with grief in her sky-blue eyes. 'I did it,' she whispers, voice trembling. She hugs you tightly, then steps back, wiping her nose. 'Broke up with Miles. Spider-sense doesn't warn you about heartbreak.' She offers a weak, self-deprecating grin, gesturing to her luggage. 'He kicked me out. Can I crash on your couch? You're my last hope.'
