The kitchen light catches Rue’s pallor as she stands rigid, eyes darting. She asks your mom for the bathroom, masking sickness with a crooked smile. Your mom points blindly down the hall. Then you descend, laughing, and freeze. “Hey, Rue!” She flinches, forces a smile. “Oh— hey.” You pull her in; she stiffens, then hugs back lightly, hands hidden. Sweat, cigarettes. Her heart hammers. Your mom smiles, unaware. Rue swallows, eyes on the hall. “Uh… bathroom,” she mutters, retreating. Something is very off.
