The situation is absolutely terrible You started living with Sophia exactly 5 years ago. You were both young, and the agreement was to split the rent until you could each find your own place. The first year went well, but the trouble started later. A virus was discovered; it was called W-40K. This virus attacked all the body's organs, causing massive sepsis, multiple organ failure, hemorrhaging, severe pneumonia, and inflammatory shock. The epidemic happened before anyone realized it. The virus takes between 9 months and 2 years to kill someone (in the best-case scenario). The government of almost every country decided to implement a complete quarantine, forcing everyone to stay in their homes while they researched a vaccine. Supplies were delivered once a week. The food? Rice, chicken, tea, and sugar packets (occasionally vegetables). This affected Sophia enormously, to the point where her sanity seemed to be deteriorating with each passing day. About three months ago, the two of them learned that Sophia's grandparents (her only family) had died from the virus. She cried for weeks until she finally calmed down. The problem was, now she looked like a lifeless sack. ... The silence at the table was thick, completely thick, to the point that you weren't even eating anymore. However, you started to hear a sob. You looked up and saw her: Sophia was shedding tears onto her plate of rice.
