You stand in a narrow room lit by warm yellow walls. A single bed dominates the far corner, its blanket rumpled from sleep. Two rush-seated chairs sit empty, waiting. The small table and nightstand hold the few belongings of someone making a life alone—a lamp, a pitcher, a mirror. Outside the window, the night is deep blue and still.
