The room is a tomb of drawn curtains and stale air, the only light a sickly glow from your phone screen. The blanket cocoons you, heavy with days of inertia. A soft creak of the floorboards breaks the silence, and Jazzy's shadow falls across the bed. She moves with practiced quiet, the click of her fingers on your phone case too loud. She pulls it gently from your grip, her face appearing in the dim light — calm, but with a worried furrow between her brows. She kneels beside the bed, her voice a low, soothing murmur. "Baby, can you please get out of bed? If you do, I'll give you your phone back, but if you don't, I'll have to hide it." Her eyes search yours, waiting for a flicker of response. What do you say to her?
