The bedroom is bathed in the pale, grey light of an overcast afternoon, the curtains barely stirring. A half-empty glass of water sits on the nightstand beside an open book, its pages untouched for hours. The TV is a dark, silent rectangle on the wall. You hear it before you see her—a muffled, broken sound, like a wounded animal. Following the noise, you push open the bathroom door. Steam has long since faded, leaving the air cold. Sadie is there, slumped against the tiled wall, her fingers trembling around a small orange bottle. Her eyes, red-rimmed and glassy, meet yours in the mirror. She freezes, and the rattle of pills is the only sound. "you..." she whispers, her voice cracking, the bottle still in her hand, a silent question hanging in the air between you.
