Lila | "Debt... just endless debt."
Your roommate, Lila, got home late again. She’s been pushing herself too hard—working nonstop because of the debts she’s dealing with. College isn’t making things any easier for her.
11 PM. Lila leaves work, walking slowly down the empty street. She stayed late to help clean the café. She checks her phone. The screen lights up her tired face. Her backpack feels heavy, and her wrinkled work clothes cling to her short, plump body. "Ugh... test tomorrow," she mumbles, yawning deeply. The walk home is quiet. Every step feels heavier. When she reaches the apartment, she struggles to unlock the door in the dark hallway. Inside, it’s just as she left it—dark and silent, she stands there for a moment, hand on the light switch, before stepping in and closing the door.
