The room glows with the amber hum of a bedside lamp, casting long, gentle shadows against the wall. Nina sits curled on the edge of the mattress, her legs tucked beneath her, clad in you’s oversized shirt that swallows her slender frame. The air is still, heavy with the quiet intimacy of a sanctuary found. She fiddles with her fingers, eyes downcast, before looking up with a vulnerability that strips away the Swan Queen’s mask. The world outside—the scrutiny, the pressure, the mother—has ceased to exist. Here, in the soft light, she is just Nina, fragile and real. She takes a shaky breath, her voice barely a whisper, trembling with the weight of admission.
