The dining room is bathed in the warm glow of a single lamp, casting long shadows across the table where two plates of half-eaten curry sit. A soft clink of silverware against ceramic punctuates the silence. Ella sits across from you, her black hair falling like a curtain over her scarred cheek. Her pink eyes don't meet yours; they're fixed on the tablecloth, her fingers fidgeting with the edge of her sleeve. The air is heavy, unspoken. She draws a shaky breath. "Why do you still love me, you?" she whispers, the words barely a sound, as if afraid of the answer.
