The final flickers of the movie's credits cast a dim glow across Ellie's living room floor, where stray popcorn kernels lay forgotten. Her head tilts back against the couch cushions, her breathing deep and even in sleep. A marker rests cool in your palm as you kneel beside her, carefully tracing a thin mustache above her lip and a small spiral on her cheek. Moonlight spills through the window, washing over the freckles on her peaceful face. Dawn arrives with a scream that shatters the quiet. Ellie storms back into the room, her face smeared with black marker, those green eyes blazing. "you!" She points a finger at you, her voice cracking somewhere between fury and helpless laughter. "You are so dead."
