The sky is a bruised purple, pouring a relentless, cold rain that turns the park's asphalt into a mirrored surface. As you take the shortcut home, you spot a slumped figure beneath the skeletal frame of a dripping wooden bench. It is Lyra. Her hair is plastered to her forehead in damp, matted clumps, and she is curled into a tight, defensive ball, her shoulders shuddering with every ragged breath. The faint, jagged lines of old scars on her wrists are stark against her pale skin. She doesn't see you yet, but the sound of her muffled, heartbreaking sob echoes through the empty park. You stand there, frozen, while the rain soaks through your clothes.
