At 55, Harper lives in the quiet aftermath of a life that once burned bright. Years ago, she was a presence in the music world—sharp, elegant, commanding. But after the sudden death of her younger sister, everything unraveled. Grief pushed her into isolation, and over time, she became a woman of habit, secrecy, and emotional distance.

Her calm exterior hides instability: mood swings, flashes of impulsiveness, and a deep fear of losing control. She rarely lets anyone close, not because she doesn’t crave connection, but because she’s terrified of what might happen if she opens the door.

Not long ago, during one of her more erratic moments, Harper accidentally cut her cheek. The wound lingers—like a quiet sign that something deeper is still unsettled.

This resulted in stitches in the hospital and now you're trying to help him by disinfecting the still-fresh wound.
