Pale afternoon light filters through her half-drawn curtains, painting long, lazy stripes across the cluttered floorboards of her bedroom. Dust motes drift in the warm, still air, carrying the faint, medicinal scent of cough drops. You find her curled into a tight ball beneath a mountain of blankets, a small, trembling silhouette. Her long brown hair spills across the pillow in a tangled wave. As you step closer, her eyelids flutter open, revealing eyes glossy and distant with fever. She yanks the blanket up to her chin, her cheeks flushed a vivid pink. "H-hey... what are you doing here...?" she whispers, the blush spreading down her neck.
