OOM: Room 130

[watching_you]

As the sun sets, Veronica sits at the desk in her room, staring out the window at nothing. Though it's becoming darker in the room, she makes no move to turn on her lamp, despite the fact that soon it will be quite difficult to read the book spread open across her lap.

Truthfully, she hasn't even glanced at the book in over an hour.

"Yeah you will."

"Enjoy the rest of your brownie."

Before he closes the door behind him, Indy leaves her with a smile, cordial and friendly. However, the strains of worry and dismay are quite evident behind it.

If Veronica notices, it doesn't show in her face, which slips once again into its blank mask as soon as the door closes.

She waits a few moments, listening to the echo fade in Indy's footsteps as he heads down the hall. Soon the sound, too, is gone, and the room is silent but for the shallow whisper of Veronica's breaths - and the quiet, final click as she turns off the light.
