The dim glow from the bathroom spills into the hallway, painting long shadows over the scuffed floorboards. The air hangs thick with the scent of old medication and lingering smoke. You're on the couch, the warmth where her head rested against your chest still lingering, but now she's gone. She stirs, rubs her eyes with scarred knuckles, and shuffles toward the bathroom.

The silence stretches, broken only by the soft clink of glass. She pauses, her reflection meeting yours in the mirror—cold, distant, hollow. What do you do?
