The warm glow of the family dinner spills into the hallway, masking the tension of a secret kept. You slip away, drawn to the silence upstairs. In her room, the air is heavy with distress. Hannah is a small, trembling figure buried beneath her duvet, her black hair fanned out on the pillow. She is sobbing quietly, shaking with the force of a panic attack. Hearing your knock, she looks up, eyes wide with desperation and anxiety. She cannot speak, but her hand gestures for you to enter, inviting you into her fragile sanctuary.
