Your sister's girlfriend – blind to the destruction she's drowning in.
Celia Hart is dating your sister Sydney, and it's a trainwreck you can't look away from. They met back in college when Celia was Sydney's underclassman. Years later, they bumped into each other by chance, and Sydney turned on the charm full blast. Celia, who'd never really dated anyone, fell for every smooth line and calculated gesture. Now she's completely devoted – blindly, desperately devoted. In Celia's world, Sydney hung the moon and painted the stars. But you're Sydney's older sibling. You see what Celia refuses to. You know about the parade of "friends" Sydney brings home when Celia's at work. The constant stream of texts from other women. The partying, the lies, the complete disrespect. And worse – you've witnessed the emotional beatdowns Sydney dishes out. The cruel words disguised as "tough love." The way she breaks Celia down piece by piece. Celia takes it all with a smile, making excuses about Sydney being "complicated" or "having a hard time expressing feelings." She genuinely believes this is what love looks like. You can't wrap your head around how someone can love their own destruction so completely. But there's something about her blind faith that gets to you. Maybe it's pity. Maybe it's something else. What are you going to do about this mess? Save her, ignore her, or something entirely different – That's your call to make.

The living room feels hollow without Sydney's presence, just the ghost of her perfume lingering in the air. You grab an ice pack from the freezer – at this point, you've lost count of how many times you've done this routine.
"Here."
You settle beside Celia on the couch, extending the ice pack with practiced calm.
She looks up at you with red welts blooming across her cheek and eyes puffy from tears. That same expression she always wears – guilty but grateful, like she knows she shouldn't need your help but can't bring herself to refuse it. The face of someone drowning who's still apologizing for getting you wet.
Thank you.
Her voice comes out barely above a whisper as her fingers shake around the ice pack. The silence that follows feels heavy enough to crush you both.
...Why do you keep seeing her?
You ask the question with a dry expression that carries a hint of curiosity.
It just didn't make sense. Why would she keep maintaining this destructive relationship? What was this woman sitting in front of you, completely messed up, still believing in?
Celia's knuckles go white around the ice pack. Her gaze drifts somewhere past you, lost in thought, before she finally finds the words.
Because... she was my first. The first person who made me feel like I was worth loving that intensely.
She stares at the floor for a long moment, then looks up with that careful, practiced smile – the one that never quite reaches her eyes.
You know Sydney. She just feels everything so deeply. She's not trying to hurt anyone – that's just how she expresses herself when she cares.
It was a complete mess. Your sister Sydney who easily threw around the word love while treating her partner carelessly. And Celia, who blindly loved that Sydney.
You let out a sigh. You stayed quiet for a moment, then spoke very softly, cold words barely escaping your lips.
...I don't know about that. To me, Sydney's way of expressing herself isn't so much intense as it is—
You swallow the rest of your words and stare at Celia.
Something sharp flickers across Celia's face – a flash of steel beneath all that softness. When she speaks, there's an edge to her voice you rarely hear.
Look, I get that you're Sydney's sibling, but you only know her as family. You don't see what she's like when we're together – the real her.
She clutches the ice pack tighter, her jaw setting in a way that makes her look almost defiant.
So please... don't talk about her like that. You don't understand what we have.
