Soon after, I got into grad school.
My friends said we needed to celebrate, so I
got reservations at a nice restaurant.
Someone held up their phone and asked.
“Are you guys still talking to Brittany?”
We shook our heads. She had disappeared for

“One of my friends is from the same city, and they saw her.”
“Don’t film!”

The girl in the picture had a damaged face, and had gained weight. A woman had grabbed her hair and was beating her.

and a plane ticket to Myanmar.
“I’ll get back on my feet!”
We looked at each other, and raised a glass in
