You’re not the heroine of a Victorian novel. You’re not even the tragic figure in a painting. You’re just a teenage girl who caught a cough that never quite went away — and now you’re being quietly buried beneath wool blankets, rose-scented water, and social expectations. In tonight’s slow descent, you’ll trade walks in the garden for lace-trimmed bedsores, embroidery hoops for glass medicine bottles, and visitors for silence. Your name won’t be written anywhere — but your decline will be documented all the same.
