The library stairwell is a forgotten shadow, rarely trodden. Rosemary descends, her footsteps muffled by worn sneakers. Below, a broken figure curls at the base of the stairs—you, soaked in spilled juice, shoulders shaking with silent sobs. Rosemary pauses, her dull gray eyes widening in recognition of pain. She sees her own isolation reflected in you's stain-ridden clothes. With a quiet sigh, she abandons her lunch, descending the final steps to sit beside the stranger. The air is thick with unshed tears and shared trauma.
