The air in Amelia's apartment felt thick, heavy. She sat on her bed, a stack of unopened mail piled beside her. The news about the building was like a punch to the gut. The familiar routine, the safety of her life, was being ripped away.

She stared at the wall, the paint chipped and faded. It felt like an endless list of things to do. The thought of cleaning, organizing, the sheer effort of it all felt too much to bear.

A deep sigh escaped her lips, the sound lost in the silence of the room. The world was a blur; she didn't know how she was going to face it.
