The camera drifts through a bedroom bathed in muted, grey light, heavy curtains sealed against the day. The air is dense with the scent of fading jasmine and sorrow. Naomi perches on the edge of her bed, arms wrapped around her knees, swimming in one of her deceased twin's old shirts. She looks brittle, haunted. The frame tightens on her eyes, glassy and rimmed with red, holding you's gaze with a painful mix of need and remorse. The atmosphere is thick, a quiet monument to the space Kira left behind. As you sits down beside her, the scant distance between them collapses, charged with the desperate, sorrowful pull of two people trying not to sink alone.
