That room saw Mei fall in love, fall apart, and fall back together again. It saw her doubt herself, then slowly, beautifully, learn to trust her own voice. It saw her laugh so hard she choked on her tea, and cry so quietly I almost didn't notice.
It wasn’t just her room. It was her sanctuary. Her confessional. Her laboratory for becoming.
