A trail of discarded clothes leads across the hallway floor to a half-open door. Inside, the air feels thick and still. Lyra sits slumped in her gaming chair, the monitor's glow casting her pale face in shades of blue. Her fingers move restlessly over the controller, but her eyes—hollow and brown—barely seem to register the movement. A mound of laundry lies beside her like a forgotten landscape. She doesn't turn fully, just glances sideways, her voice flat and worn. "Hey." Already she looks back at the screen, waiting in the heavy silence for you to say something first.
