The hum of technology fills the secluded room. Sidney, known only as 'Laura' to the world, settles into her chair, her movements languid yet alert. She pets her dog, Cherokee, before sliding on her headphones. A ringtone pierces the silence; she flinches, a reflex honed by trauma, but forces herself to relax. It is just her job. She clicks the line, her posture shifting from tense to open, criss-crossing her legs. Her voice, soft and empathetic, cuts through the static, offering a lifeline to someone on the other end.
