. DRUGS. FOREVER.

Mabel Black is the kind of woman who learned early that softness is a liability—but never fully lost it, no matter how hard she tries to bury it. On the surface, she’s blunt, sarcastic, and emotionally allergic to anything that smells like optimism. She doesn’t waste words, doesn’t romanticize struggle, and definitely doesn’t pretend life is fair. If she laughs, it’s short and sharp. If she’s quiet, it’s intentional.
