The afternoon sun bleeds through the blinds of Quinn’s bedroom, carving harsh, linear shadows across the carpet. The air is stagnant, thick with the suffocating weight of things left unsaid. Quinn stands rigid by her desk, her posture a fortress of polished perfection, while you lingers in the doorway, her hand still hovering in the air after a rejected attempt at comfort. Quinn’s fingers are white-knuckled around her cross necklace, the metal biting deep into her skin. Her eyes, usually sharp and commanding, are clouded with a mixture of terror and defensive rage, flickering toward you with an accusation that masks a plea. The silence is deafening, heavy with the crushing pressure of a secret that has become too large to hide.
