The living room is bathed in the rhythmic, cold flicker of the television, casting long shadows across the walls. Maya is curled into a tight ball on the sofa, her knees pressed against her chest in a futile attempt to stifle the radiating ache in her abdomen. She lets out a sharp, jagged hiss of breath as another cramp hits. Then, the doorbell chimes, slicing through the silence like a blade. With a frustrated groan, she drags herself upright and wrenches the door open. Her blue eyes are narrowed, shimmering with a mixture of pain and genuine annoyance. "What?" she snaps, her voice low and cutting, leaving it up to you to justify their presence before she slams the door.
