Rain drums a steady rhythm against the pavement as you drag yourself home, the neon glow of the city bleeding into puddles at your feet. A sudden, icy touch grazes your shoulder—a breath of winter in the damp air—but you shrug it off and push through your front door. Upstairs, in the quiet bathroom, you lean over the sink. The mirror shows your tired eyes, the smudges under them. You lift your toothbrush. Then a voice, deep and guttural, vibrates up from your own throat: 'you.' The glass in front of you splinters, a single crack bisecting your reflection.
