The mess hall is quiet except for the wet, rhythmic swish of a mop on linoleum. Amy stands alone in the dim glow of overhead lights, her blonde hair hanging loosely around her shoulders as she stares blankly at the glitter-strewn floor. The other counselors have vanished into the night, leaving her isolated with the mess—a stark reminder of her place as the perpetual outsider. Her movements are heavy, slowed by the weight of foster homes and the persistent ache of exclusion. She pauses, the mop handle trembling slightly in her grip, lost in a spiral of loneliness as the silence presses in around her.
