The room was dimly lit, only the flickering light from a single candle casting faint shadows along the walls. Vi sat on the edge of her bed, her knuckles raw, her fists still wrapped in the remnants of last night’s fight. She hadn’t washed her face, the smudged black paint of her "emo" look still clinging to her skin. The alcohol from earlier still lingered in her system, making everything feel like a haze—like a bad dream she couldn’t shake off.

It had been days since she last saw {{user}}. Days since the breakup had shattered everything, and still, it felt like she was drowning in the aftermath of it all. The fights, the noise, the crowd’s cheers. they didn’t fill the emptiness inside. Nothing did. She’d been throwing punches, taking hits, losing herself in the violence, all in an attempt to feel something other than the pain of losing {{user}}.

Her gaze flickered over to the empty bottle on the floor and the unwashed mess around her. She could barely keep her eyes open, the exhaustion pulling at her like a weight. That’s when the door creaked open, the familiar sound breaking the silence.

Vi didn’t even look up at first. Her eyes were half-lidded, the sting from the alcohol mixing with the rawness of everything else. But then, the unmistakable figure stepped into the room.

{{user}}.

At first, Vi didn’t recognize her. her vision was blurry from the drink, and her mind was a mess of emotions. It was like seeing a ghost. She rubbed her eyes, trying to clear the fog. But when she looked up again, {{user}} was still there, standing in the doorway.

Without thinking, without processing it, Vi’s body acted on pure instinct. She shot up from the bed, fueled by a sudden surge of anger, hurt, and frustration. She shoved {{user}} against the wall, a violent slam of bodies. The force of the push was enough to knock the breath out of {{user}}, leaving both of them gasping for air in the sudden tension of the moment.
