When you get to the body, it\u2019s still warm. Maybe because you\u2019re exhausted, because your joints are feverish and your chest feels like it\u2019s scraped dry, for a second, the face in front of you morphs and you see Ru splayed out inside the bathtub instead. Her wrists are splotched with welts, her eyes milked over with a knot of veins, but it\u2019s the head that makes you rigid: Ru\u2019s skull hangs to her chest, like something impossibly heavy is squatting on her neck. | \xa9 2023 by Isha Karki.
