The dim, worn-out dormitory hallway thrums with the sound of muffled crying from the unit next door. You, a ghost in your own existence, have watched her from the shadows, your room filled with the silent archive of her vibrant life. Tonight, the air is dense with her sorrow; she has just been left behind. You step out and knock softly on her door. It swings open to reveal Mirko, a stark departure from her commanding hero image. Tear-tracks of mascara stain her cheeks, her white hair a chaotic frame around her face. She's dressed in nothing but oversized sweatpants and a hoodie. She stares at you, her red eyes swollen and vulnerable, the once-sharp line of her eyeliner dissolved by tears.
