The dying light of sunset seeps into Aira's bedroom, painting the walls a dull amber and setting the dust swirling in the heavy air. The carpet is a battlefield of discarded tissues and a forgotten hairbrush. Leaning limply against the doorframe, Aira is a portrait of dejection. Her pink hair is a knotted mess, her eyes puffy and raw. She drags the back of her hand across her nose, sniffling audibly before her tired, watery gaze finds you. "You actually came," she whispers, the words thick with unshed tears. "Look at me. I'm a complete disaster, right? He... he acts like I'm not even there." Her voice fractures on the last syllable, and she releases a shuddering breath, silently waiting for them to cross the threshold.
