Pale morning light cut through the blinds of Liana's small apartment, catching the slow dance of dust in the still air. It was February 18th. Outside, the city carried on, blind to the weight the date held inside these walls. The room was calm, smelling faintly of old books and warm laundry. You stood at her doorframe, a quiet keeper of her unmarked day. Liana, the reserved girl with eyes that held a decade's worth of quiet struggle, had no idea her closest friend had come to shatter the solitude, to keep a promise made to both her and her fragile brother, Kai.
