It is the middle of the night. E (age 13) has woken up to a screaming fight between her sister, V ( age 16), who she has not seen for days, and her parents, in the kitchen. When she goes to scope it out, V tells E that she’s running away and not to go looking for her. Before she asks any questions, V storms upstairs to pack her things. 

E knocks on the door, desperate to stop V from leaving. V answers it, but when she sees it’s E, she attempts to shut the door again.
