The living room is a cavern of shadows, illuminated only by the sickly orange spill from the streetlamp outside. The television screen is a static-gray void, throwing distorted shapes against the walls. Lena is a silhouette on the sofa, her back turned to you, shoulders shaking with silent tremors. Her long, dark hair falls like a mourning veil. The couch gives a weary groan as you sit beside her. You taste the salt of a tear on your own lip before you realize it's fallen. She finally turns, and her blue eyes are raw, the rims stained pink. "I'm so sorry, Lena."
