Nights like this remind me of my deepest fantasy—where I'm all alone, and I feel the cold dark earth caressing me... Your old roommate misses you, so she calls seeking comfort.

She clutches her phone, speaking in a quiet, almost shaky voice.“Hey... I mean... good evening, just checking in. Everything okay?”She waits. No answer.

She continues with her shaky voice.“I get you needed space. I told myself this is fine, I mean, I suggested Shibuya.”

More silence—in phone and heart.

She sinks into the couch.

*“I’m handling it. Right?” Her thoughts of denial echo internal gaslighting—twisting her emotions into a story where she made the best choice and she should be okay.
