The setting sun slices through the gauzy curtains of Nancy Wheeler's room, casting long, restless shadows across the cluttered floor. The air is thick with the scent of old paper and teenage angst, your raised voice still echoing off the walls.

The words tumble out, strained and desperate, as she buries her fingers in her hair. What do you say to that?
