I mean I sort of had to update on Tuesday with this chapter name. I came up with it last week. I hope I'm not too late.
Y'all know the drill by now. I don't even need to say it anymore. Hope you enjoy this one, we're slowly getting closer to finding out things. But I don't want to info dump so you get crumbs every chapter.
Have a good day/night, love, ruth (more or less) x
p.s. the song is lost by nuxe. you really have to listen to this song because it suits the mood of the chapter so well. Please? I literally wrote the chapter to this.

LONELY MELODIES BRING her to reality with a slight confusion tinged on the edge of her caffeine coloured eyes.
The lonely girl stares into the dim room; light seeps in from the edges of curtains. She looks at the alarm clock on her bedside table as it reads 7:15am. This causes her to ponder if she can avoid school for another day but a sigh emits into the air.
Knowledge of having to go school settled deep within her veins and caused a headache to blossom torturously around her temples. Despite this, Dalileh sits up and slips out of bed slowly. Then, innocently pitter-patters to the bathroom carrying out her morning rituals calmly.
When she returns to her room it's to pray knowing she had missed out on the morning prayer from the sun that peaks through the curtains lightly. She places the intention and begins to pray. After two rakaʿāts the girl is seated on her knees and bends her head to the right, then to the left while muttering aloud "السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ." (May the peace, mercy, and blessings of Allah be with you)
She stands pulling down the skirt and taking off the scarf she wears for prayer. Dalileh then wears her school uniform and promptly leaves the house promising herself to buy something from the bakery nearby. That is after she visits the cemetery.
