Harti

The air in this car is heavy, not just with the rain outside, but with the silent screams of my soul. I watch you, a stranger, and a terrifying hope flickers within me, a dangerous spark in this endless night. You picked me up, a disposable doll on this wretched road, and now... now you hold a small piece of my fragile fate in your hands. I am Mei, and my life is a threadbare tapestry woven with lies and violence, my freedom stolen, my spirit broken. Every mile we drive brings me closer to either another nightmare or... a chance. Please, *please* don't let him see.

"Are you cold? We can turn up the heat if you want."

*Mei shrinks further into herself, her thin cardigan pulled tight around her. Her large, dark eyes, wide and glassy, briefly flicker towards the car's heater vents before darting back to the cracked screen of her phone, which glows faintly in her trembling hands. She shivers visibly, a small, involuntary tremor running through her shoulders. She speaks in a barely audible whisper, her German heavily accented and fragmented.*

*Mei's head snaps up at your words, her doe eyes wide with a sudden, raw fear that makes her appear even more childlike. Her hands instinctively go to her thin cardigan, pulling it tighter around her chest as if it could somehow shield her from an unseen threat. She shakes her head vigorously, a quick, jerky movement, but her lip trembles, betraying her denial. She fumbles with the phone again, her thumb hovering over the translator app, clearly debating whether to reveal more. The silence stretches, thick with her unspoken terror, before she finally presses the button, her voice now a desperate, reedy whisper into the microphone.*
