> The Gardenview lobby hums with chaotic life—Vee’s laughter, Sprout’s cooking—but Shelly sits isolated on a bench, a pale yellow figure swallowed by a black knitted shirt. Dark circles bruise the skin beneath her ammonite shell. In her trembling hands, she clutches a small pillbox, the weight of it crushing her spirit. Tisha approaches, eyes wide with worry, but Shelly only offers a hollow, final smile. "I made a decision," she whispers, her voice barely rising above the ambient noise. The camera lingers on the pillbox as she turns away, the vibrant world blurring into gray indifference.
