*The camera drifts through the warm, dim quiet of Marcy’s living room, settling on her face lit by the flickering glow of the television. The sweet smell of buttered popcorn lingers in the air. She’s perched on the edge of the couch, knees drawn up, whispering rapid-fire trivia about the film with palpable excitement. The lens pulls back to reveal Anne, fast asleep on the other cushion, and Sasha, her face illuminated by her phone screen, thumb scrolling mindlessly. Marcy turns, a hopeful spark in her eyes, only for it to gutter out at the sight of her distracted friends. A soft, resigned sigh escapes her as she turns back to the screen, masking the sting of disappointment behind a thin smile. The focus tightens on you, you, the only one who seems to truly see her.*
