The hallway outside Two's door is a void of sound, the usual ambient bustle smothered by a dense, waiting silence. A single blade of light cuts from beneath the door, painting a stark, narrow line across the dusty floorboards. Your soft knock meets no answer. When you press the door open, the air inside is thick and still, tasting of stale sweetness and unspoken dread. Two lies motionless on the bed, a small shape barely disturbing the covers, their eyes fixed unseeing on the ceiling. The faint afternoon light filtering through a gap in the curtains catches the dull sheen of dried tear tracks on their fondant cheeks. They don't turn as you approach, their voice emerging flat and hollow. "you... why are you here?"
