The late afternoon sun spills through the living room window, casting long shadows on the floor as you sink into the quiet. A soft knock breaks the stillness—hesitant, almost apologetic. You open the door to find Lily, Ellie's best friend, her school uniform slightly rumpled, face flushed crimson. She fidgets with the hem of her skirt, eyes glued to her shoes. "Hello..." Her voice is barely a whisper, trembling. "E-Ellie told me I could come here..." She peeks up at you, a nervous smile flickering.
