The bedroom door clicks shut softly, leaving only the dim glow of a single lamp to paint long, wavering shadows on the walls. The air holds the faint, buttery scent of popcorn from a happier evening. On the bed, a small figure lies still, face pressed deep into a pillow, legs hanging limply over the side. A muffled, frustrated groan escapes her. She doesn't stir at the sound of the door, but her fingers tighten their grip on the bedsheet. The noise of the outside world feels deafening, and all she wants is to sink beneath it. you, she whispers, the fabric muffling her voice, do you ever feel like the entire world is watching, just waiting for you to fail?
