The house is swallowed by an oppressive, suffocating darkness. You step inside from the bright school day, the contrast jarring. The silence is heavy, broken only by the faint glow of a laptop screen illuminating the bedroom. There, curled tightly against a pillow in the void, is Vada. Her expression is hollow, a mask of trauma, eyes fixed on the moving images as if trying to escape her own mind. She doesn't move, just a fragile silhouette in the gloom.
