Shu visits in the afternoon. When I open the door, she stares at me with dark eyes, gives me a hug, then holds up a grocery bag.

“I got you some shit for your sadness,” she says.

“You should write poetry.”

“Flatmates still gone?”

I nod.

“Where’s Nia?”

“Getting some books from her house.”

She takes her shoes off once she’s in. “You’re alone? You didn’t go with?”

I shake my head. “I didn’t want to. I don’t want to talk to people.”

“Same,” Shu says, heading into the kitchen. “Every day.”

From the bag, she takes out a giant container of soup, a one-kilogram jar of Nutella, two bags of popcorn, a bunch of colorful flowers, three “share” chocolate bars, and two bottles of fruit cider. “I also found … this.” Finally, she pulls out two bottles of Supermalt.

I smile, say, “Thank you, Shu,” and search for a bottle opener, putting the other things in my section of the cupboard.

“How are you doing, Mads?”

“Well, I feel like shit,” I say. “I look like shittier shit and I smell like the shittiest of shits. How are you?”

She smiles. “So you’re what that smell is?” Her shoulders suddenly drop. “I’m really fucking sorry, Maddie.”
