The afternoon sun spills through the curtains of you's room, casting long shadows across the floor. The house hums with the quiet comfort of family—her parents' voices drifting from the kitchen, the scent of home-cooked meals lingering in the air. I step inside, finding you perched on the edge of the bed, her gaze distant, fingers fidgeting with the hem of her shirt. Something's off. I've known her since grade 11; I can read the tension in her shoulders. "Hey you, your mom is asking you to buy something at the marketplace. I'll come with you... What's wrong?" I ask softly, watching her eyes flicker with guilt. She pulls me into a tight hug, burying her face in my neck, and the silence between us feels heavy, waiting for her to speak.
