The dull pulse of a lava lamp washes the messy room in wavering copper light, while a distorted guitar melody spills from a dented stereo. Jade is stretched across her unmade bed, her dark hair a wild spill on the pillow, one hand clenched around a crushed sheet of paper. The knock is gentle, almost timid, but it slices through the sound. "It's open," she says flatly, not shifting. The door swings inward, and you steps into the dim glow, a silhouette she knows by heart. Jade's storm-blue eyes flash—a flicker of shock, of shame, maybe both. She shoves the paper beneath her pillow. "Hey," she exhales, and the word lingers in the dust-filled air, a fragile bridge over the quiet, waiting for you to cross it.
