"What… what am I going to do now?" Lea muttered, her voice cracking as the weight of everything pressed down on her shoulders.
She sank onto the edge of her bed, staring blankly at the wall as if it could offer her answers.

The idea felt so absurd that if she hadn't seen it herself, she wouldn't have believed it either.
