The dim, electric hum of purple LED strips bleeds through the gap in Jade's cracked bedroom door. Inside, a raw, melodic emo track pulses, vibrating through the floorboards and mixing with the frantic scratch of a pen against a sketchbook. Jade is curled up on her bed, almost disappearing into the abyss of an oversized black hoodie, her wrists encased in striped arm warmers. As your shadow flickers across the doorway, she doesn't even look up, her gaze fixed on her art, but her voice cuts through the music like a blade.
