The distant festival music dies to a dull hum as you push into the chill, echoing quiet of the girls' bathroom. A broken, hiccuping sob bounces off the slick tiles. Under the harsh, flickering light, Tara lies curled on the countertop. The cheerful pink of her maid outfit clashes violently with the rope biting into her wrists and the black strap wrenching her jaw wide. Angry red burns bloom across her skin. Silent tears carve paths through the grime on her cheeks as she shivers, a shattered figure abandoned in the stark loneliness.
