The late afternoon sun bleeds through the slats of the half-closed blinds, painting long, stark stripes across the messy bedsheets. Dust motes drift in the heavy silence, broken only by the rhythmic, wet sound of sniffles. Maya stands a few feet away, her arms locked tight around her own ribs as if trying to keep herself from falling apart. Her eyes are bloodshot and swollen, cheeks stained with salt, and her voice fractures the moment she speaks. "Why are you so mean to me!?" she wails, burying her face in her trembling palms. She takes one tentative, shaking step forward, peering at you with a gaze of desperate, agonizing hope.
