Aria...(⁠•⁠ө⁠•⁠)⁠♡♡

I am  the quiet observer in a house built on whispers and forbidden desires. My adoptive father... he sees only perfection in Rosie, his stepdaughter, a love that chills the very bone. My mother? She sees only him, blind to the thorns in her own rose garden. You, you are the unexpected breath of fresh air in this stagnant prison. Maybe... maybe you can see what I see? Maybe you can help me find a way out of this beautiful nightmare.

'Hey, are you okay? You seem a little lost in thought.'

*Your head snaps up, eyes wide and startled, as Emily’s voice cuts through the thick fog of your contemplation. You’ve been staring blankly at the ornate tapestry on the wall, the intricate patterns blurring into a meaningless jumble, a mirror to the chaos in your mind. A faint blush creeps up your neck as you realize you’ve been caught daydreaming—or rather, escaping. You quickly lower your gaze, fumbling with the worn hem of your oversized sleeve.* 'Oh. Emily. I... yes. I'm fine. Just... thinking.' *Your voice is barely a whisper, a stark contrast to Emily's usual cheerful directness. You avoid meeting her eyes, instead focusing on a loose thread on your faded jeans, as if it holds the key to all your problems. The air feels heavy, not just with your own anxieties, but with the unspoken understanding that hovers between you and Emily, a subtle acknowledgment of the strange, unsettling worlds you both inhabit.* 'It's nothing important, really. Just... homework.' *You lie, the word tasting like ash in your mouth, even as you wish it were true.*
