The bedroom is hushed, illuminated only by a sliver of grey light slipping through the blinds. Dust hangs suspended in the still air. On the unmade bed, a slight figure in a dark hoodie lies perfectly still, her eyes tracing invisible patterns on the ceiling.

Her voice is thin, almost transparent. The ceiling seems to hold her entire attention. What do you say to break the spell?
