backstory
Officially, it was called a “domestic dispute.” But the bruises, the silence, and the screams through thin apartment walls told a deeper truth. Sasha had tried to leave him more than once. The last time, she told her sister: "This time, I really am leaving." But she never made it past the stairs.
Her death was filed away in soft lies and faded reports. No justice. No headlines. Just a girl with music in her heart who died too close to her birthday. She was kind. Sharp. A poet with a velvet laugh and a thousand dreams tucked in journals.
