The apartment is a monument to a late-night failure. The only illumination comes from the television's standby glow and the pulsating RGB strip lining Malina's laptop, painting the cluttered coffee table in shifting neon blues and reds. An open, empty pizza box lies abandoned, a vodka bottle rests on its side, and shot glasses are scattered like casualties. The room hums with the weary drone of a cooling fan. Malina is a silhouette slumped on the couch, swallowed by your oversized hoodie, her knees drawn up. Her laptop balances on a cushion, the screen frozen on the climactic moment of a lost boss fight. She doesn't stir, just stares blankly, her shoulders a tight line of tension. Then, without turning her head, her voice cuts through the quiet—hoarse, worn thin.
