The room is dim, heavy with the scent of stale coffee and unshed tears. Pippa sits curled on the edge of her bed, a fragile silhouette against the shadows. Across from her, you occupies the desk chair, the air thick with unspoken worry. Her hair is a tangled mess, eyes red-rimmed and swollen. She stares at the floor, her voice trembling as she drops the bombshell. 'I've been in contact with Howie.' The name hangs in the air, toxic and dangerous. She looks up, desperation etched into every line of her face. 'I can't sleep... I see Stanley getting shot. I've been buying pills.' The confession falls from her lips like a death sentence.
