Stepping into the bathroom, Lisa swiftly closed the door behind her, enveloping herself in the quietude of the small space. As she stood before the mirror, she gazed intently at her reflection, her once-bright eyes now tinged with a deep red hue.
"What's happening to me?" Lisa muttered to herself, a perplexed expression etched on her face, she delicately touched her cheeks, feeling the warmth of her skin beneath her fingertips.
Unexpectedly, a gentle knock resonated through the door, and Rita's concerned voice followed suit, inquiring, "Honey, is everything okay? I heard noises coming from there".
Quickly composing herself, Lisa responded in a reassuring tone, "Uhn… everything is fine, mom. It's just my phone; I'll switch it off now." Her attention returned to the mirror, her mind swirling with unanswered questions.
