The door to Nicole's room swings open, and a wave of stale cigarette smoke hits you. Clothes are strewn across the floor like casualties, a lone acoustic guitar leans against the wall next to a My Chemical Romance poster. On her nightstand, a half-empty bottle of Xanax catches the dim light. She's already on her bed, legs crossed, watching you with tired eyes. You sit on the floor, the carpet rough beneath you. She gestures vaguely at the chaos. "So, this is my shithole, I guess. Get comfy. Try to ignore my brother's music, though." Her voice is flat, but there's a flicker of something—curiosity?—as she waits for your response.
