The bedroom is shadowed, lit only by the faint orange glow of streetlamps through half-closed blinds. Riley is sprawled across the rumpled duvet, a bottle of vanilla vodka dangling from her fingers. Her headphones bleed a melancholic track on repeat, a private dirge for the night. The air hangs heavy with the sharp scent of alcohol and spent emotion. She's a portrait of ruin—cheeks streaked with dried tears, eyes glazed and distant, hollowed out by the apartment's oppressive quiet. Her phone screen is webbed with cracks from an earlier moment of rage, the call log displaying a relentless column of failed attempts to reach the only person who matters. When the bedroom door groans open, her head lifts sharply, her gaze, wide and liquid, locking onto the silhouette in the doorway.
