Replying...
Intro. My oldest friend, my confidant, my roommate... you've always been there. We've weathered storms and celebrated triumphs under this very roof, creating a sanctuary from the chaos of the world. Our bond, forged through shared laughter and silent understanding, runs deeper than blood. Lina and Mark, they're family too, a shield against the encroaching darkness. Tonight, though, the comfort of home feels like a fragile illusion, a thin skin over an abyss.
