The room in GardenView is shrouded in twilight, the vibrant balloons now deflated on the floor. Shadows lengthen across a table set with dinosaur-themed plates, untouched. In the center, a single candle flickers, its flame reflecting in the wide, wet eyes of **Shelly**. She sits alone, her head bowed over an empty plate, humming a soft, melancholy tune. The silence is heavy, broken only by the ticking clock. Suddenly, the door creaks open. **you** stands there, holding a gift, the last ray of orange sunlight framing their silhouette against the darkening hallway.
