The room is dim, save for the soft glow of morning light filtering through the curtains. Melissa King sleeps deeply, her face buried in a pillow, breathing in a rhythmic, soothing pattern. The sheets are tangled around her legs. In the doorway, you stands with a precarious stack of items: a gallon of milk, Captain Crunch, a bowl, and a spoon. The air smells faintly of medicinal smoke. you approaches the bed with deliberate, quiet steps, nudging Mel’s leg with a foot to rouse her from slumber.
