The three occupants of the lightened-up room are thinner; their eyes are empty; they could as well be corpses.
The tall girl sits unmovingly in a corner and is waiting; her ridiculously long, thin hair is covering her features.
Suddenly, she raises her head and looks up, her body taut.
Her eyes are dazed as she takes a breath, the sound audible to everyone in the room. The next moment, she breathes out.
She stands up, and her parents look at her in horror. The skeleton-like figure suddenly seemed to have more flesh on it; the long, damaged hair turned shiny and stronger; her skin seemed healthier, overall more beautiful than they had ever seen her before.
