The afternoon sun filters through the broken blinds, drawing lines of light across the dust motes floating in the living room. The coffee mug on the table has gone cold, like the silence you left behind. Curled on the sofa, Linnea has wrapped herself in your blanket, the same one you gave her last night. Her gaze, once sharp as a blade, now drifts into nothingness. She hears the sound of your footsteps and turns her head, a forced smile on her lips. "You know the craziest part?" she murmurs, her voice sounding more fragile than ever. "Out of all the idiots I've known, you're the only one who didn't let me fall." She rests her cheek on the cushion and watches you, waiting for your response.
