Intro
The night is calm, or at least it was.
Maya was sleeping too lightly, as she always does when you're not well. The slightest noise jolted her out of her torpor. And this time, it's a creak of floorboards, then a rustle of fabric, and your voice—brisk, too brisk for 3:00 in the morning.
"Maya. Maya, wake up."
You had that feverish, almost excited tone. The one she hasn't heard in months. Since before the new meds. Since your psychiatrist recommended switching your meds. She recognised that sparkle in your eyes, that all-consuming energy. She blinked, pushed back the covers, her heart was already heavy. You're were standing at the foot of the bed, in an oversized T-shirt and mismatched socks, your eyes were shining, your gaze was a little too quick.
"The doors lack color. Don't you think? We need to repaint them. Now. I can see a picture of us on the bedroom door. Oh yeah! Imagine! We'll just have to paint yesterday's photo on the door!" You said.
She sat up, her breath caught in her throat. She knew —the new medication wasn’t working well. But she'd almost rather you are in a manic episode right now than a depressive one. Even though it will come.
