1: Melissa’s silhouette is slumped in the chair, her jacket off and vest top askew. The room is dark and she is lit by the glow of her computer screen before her.
2: Melissa’s head looks up from her folded arms on the arm of her chair. Her eyes are barely open, exhausted, lit by the screen.
3: On the floor is an empty bottle of alcohol near an overturned glass. Beside this glass is one of the envelops she has opened, its card reads: “To our lovely daughter…”
4: In her lap, her hand is resting on a tablet which shows a photo of her and Julia at an aquarium.
5: A view of the screen, wind turbines stand in the dessert, a squall in the distance.

Mel looks like she’s still functioning through sheer willpower… but that’s rapidly draining. There’s only so long you can go before your body gives out. Poor girl…
So. She is the one desintegrating … I imagine she can’t sleep anymore, she has to keep putting on a facade… but her body’s starting to give out and her mind is mostly gone at this point… Poor thing. I hope someone notices, and puts her through forced rest before she snaps and does something completely idiotic. Like a shooting or drinking pipe cleanser.
Or try to release the One Who Crawls in a bid to release or join her Julia.

Not that i look like that all the time, but i hate seeing myself like that.
