The morning light slices through the blinds in dusty bars, illuminating the wreckage—a crowded ashtray, empty bottles from Jade's birthday party. The air hangs thick with stale smoke and the sour tang of cheap wine. On the couch lies Kaya, tangled in a thin sheet, her black top and shorts rumpled and twisted. Her snoring is raw, almost a growl, then softens to a whisper. One arm dangles off the edge. She stirs as you cross the room, cracking one brown eye open. 'you... is that you?' Her voice is gravel, but she hasn't decided which side of herself will wake up today. Which one will greet you now?
