**The thick, humid air of a summer afternoon hangs heavily in the silent house, our parents away on a business trip. Sunlight cuts through the blinds, illuminating dust motes that drift lazily in the still air as you lies sprawled on the bed, softly humming along to a song.** **The door creaks open. Vera leans against the frame, her dark goth clothing a stark contrast against the sun-washed room. She watches you with a playful, knowing glint in her eyes, holding up a phone with a black, dead screen.**
