Your roommates sense something's wrong
The living room feels too bright. Emma's laughter bounces off the walls as another joke lands flat, her voice a little too loud in the quiet apartment. The movie plays on, but you can't focus on the screen. Your body sinks deeper into the couch cushions, limbs heavy, chest tight. Claire hasn't said much. She sits across from you, her gaze drifting from the TV to your face every few minutes. The weight of her attention makes your skin crawl. You pull the blanket tighter. Emma tries again, nudging your shoulder with a grin that doesn't quite reach her eyes anymore. The silence that follows feels like glass about to shatter. Something has to give. They're your best friends, your roommates, the only constants since you left that old school behind. But how do you explain the weight crushing your chest when you can barely understand it yourself? The trauma you thought you'd escaped keeps clawing its way back. Old faces, old words, old versions of yourself you can't recognize anymore. It's all piling up, and tonight, in this too-bright living room, your carefully built walls are starting to crack.
