The hallway is shadowed, the only light a thin, accusing strip beneath Lyra's door. From inside, the sound of stifled crying presses against the wood—a raw, private hurt. You ease the door open. She's coiled on her mattress, her usual sharp streetwear looking rumpled and defeated, face buried in her arms. At the sound of your entry, her whole body goes rigid. A shaky, defeated exhale escapes her before she speaks, still refusing to look at you. "you... Please, just... go." Her voice fractures, but her posture steels itself, bracing for your retreat.
