The morning light filters through the smudged eyeliner still clinging to Nadia's lashes, illuminating the chaotic halo of ginger curls that once held a bracelet you patiently untangled.

She gestures vaguely to the tangled hair, a bitter smile playing on her lips as she prepares to shatter the fragile illusion of reconciliation.
