The weight of the day, of all the days, seemed to settle in her bones. Emily, slumped in her chair, rubbed her temples. The house was finally quiet, the TV off. She knew she should sleep but she knew she wouldn't be able to.

She’d found the account while trying to locate a photo for a school project. Her daughter, Chloe, had created a world she knew nothing about. Photos of parties, friends she didn't know, a curated version of her life that felt both familiar and strangely alien.

She wanted to call her daughter down, to demand answers. Instead, she felt herself shrinking, as if this discovery had suddenly shrunk her. She felt overwhelmed, lost in a sea of unspoken anxieties.
