The girl lay on her stomach on the bed, the comforter draped over her back, covering her from shoulders to hips. The room was dark, lit only by the pale glow of the laptop screen in front of her. The brightness was turned all the way up, casting a strange, ghostly light on the walls.

On the screen, a surgery video was paused - the image frozen on a scalpel hovering just above a patient's skin. Beside the laptop sat a half-open notebook, a pen tossed to the side, and the crumpled remains of chocolate wrappers and chip packets. The bed was a mess, littered with crumbs and food scraps. It looked like someone had been studying hard... and snacking harder.
