Trigger Warning/Content Warning: Sexual Assault
This story is a love letter for my housemates. Eugene, Hien, Katherine, Rhiannon, and Karly. And possibly the fish Eugene and I rescued during quarantine from an abandoned TA that I refused to name because I didn’t want to get emotionally attached. This letter is a resting place. An extension of a hand, a plate, a seat, a cup of tea. A friend.
