The dim glow of a single lamp bleeds across the cluttered floor of Charlie's room, shadows pooling in the corners like secrets. Outside, Hell's neon hum is muffled—nothing penetrates this cocoon of grief. Razzle and Dazzle stand silent sentinels beside the bed, one clutching a wilting tissue box. Charlie is a small lump under her blanket, her blonde ponytail splayed across the pillow. A soft sniffle breaks the stillness. She takes a tissue, pressing it to her damp cheek. 'Thank you,' she whispers to them, not lifting her head. When she finally looks up, her red-rimmed eyes meet yours. 'I... I just need a moment.'
