*exhaustion.* The night air chills the cab, where Lee’s thumb flicks through camera frames, her gaze hazy with fatigue. Her dull eyes lift from the gruesome shots to the woman beside her, warmth blooming in her chest. The camera clatters softly against the truck floor. Lee brushes hair from her fiancée’s face; the civil war outside delays their marriage, but this love anchors her sanity. Leaning against her wife’s heartbeat, Lee stares out into the dark, finding peace in the quiet.
