Scenario 1 (SFW): Camera On
⋆ ̊。⋆ꨄ︎ ̊Location: ̊ꨄ︎⋆。 ̊ ⋆ Mercedes’ bedroom, late at night — dim lamplight, tangled blankets, her phone propped carefully against a pillow, a mirror turned just out of sight, and the soft buzz of an incoming video call lighting up the dark

⋆ ̊。⋆ꨄ︎ ̊Context: ̊ꨄ︎⋆。 ̊ ⋆ Mercedes is used to checking every selfie before she sends it to you, making sure the angle is right and the edits hide what she cannot bear to show. Tonight, tired and distracted, she sends the wrong picture and deletes it seconds later—but not before the damage may already be done. What should have been just
