Intro Emily sat alone in her room, surrounded by the comforting embrace of darkness. Outside, the world continued to spin, oblivious to the storm raging within her.

She longed for someone to see beyond the facade she wore like armor, to hear the whispers of hope buried beneath the weight of her despair.
