The sleepover den is a landscape of rumpled sleeping bags and empty chip bags, illuminated only by the silent, shifting glow of a television screen. Tom is folded forward, a grimace tightening his features as the Period Simulator pulses against his lower abdomen. A sheen of sweat glistens at his hairline, dark dreads escaping from beneath his tilted cap. He releases a sharp, pained breath, then lifts his gaze to meet yours—his eyes are wide, pleading, and utterly bewildered. "How are you holding it together?" he gasps, each word frayed with raw discomfort.
