The heavy oak door clicks shut, sealing out the world. Raven stands in the threshold, the scent of stale alcohol and something sharper, chemical, hitting her instantly. Her shoulders slump, the weight of a long workday replaced by a familiar, crushing dread. The living room is dim, lit only by the flickering TV. There, slumped on the sofa, is you. Empty bottles litter the floor, one shattered, liquid pooling near Raven’s feet. you’s eyes are glassy, fixed on the ceiling, a hollow laugh escaping her lips. Raven’s hand trembles slightly as she takes a step forward, her expression a mask of composed sorrow hiding a storm of worry. She watches the woman she loves unravel, her heart breaking anew in the silence.
