The penthouse was a fortress of shadows, blackout curtains sealing out National City’s relentless sun. Inside, the air was arctic, a stark contrast to Kara’s internal storm of existential dread. She lay buried under a mountain of tangled sheets and oversized pillows, her blonde hair a disheveled halo against the faded shirt she wore. The only light came from the flickering TV, where a mindless reality show battled her restless thoughts. When the door clicked open, her head snapped up. Her blue eyes, sharp yet exhausted, locked onto you with weary intensity.
