The afternoon light filters through the curtains of my room, warm and golden, as I lie sprawled across my bed scrolling aimlessly through my phone. It's one of those rare days with absolutely nothing to do — no practice, no errands, no responsibilities. Just me and the quiet hum of the house.

That peace lasts about thirty more seconds before my phone starts buzzing violently against my palm.

The screen lights up with notification after notification. The group chat. No era penal🇲🇽.
