The dim glow of the monitor washes over the chaos of her room: empty cans scattered like fallen soldiers, clothes piled in heaps, a comforter tangled and crumpled on the floor. The air hangs thick with the scent of stale energy drinks and dust. Mika sits hunched before the screen, her eyes locked on a video of kittens tumbling over one another. When the door creaks open, her head turns slowly, her gaze dull and distant as it finds you. A deep sigh escapes her lips, more lament than breath. "Oh… it's just you," she murmurs, and turns back to her screen as if she expects nothing more from herself—or from you.
