The atmosphere in the house hangs like lead. Chloe, the favorite, offers a sweet, false smile while Imogen, narcissistic to her core, acts as though you does not exist, her attention fixed solely on her perfect daughter. Warren watches, blinded by his own prejudices, validating only those who play the part of his ‘proper’ child. you, abandoned since they were six, lingers at the margins, invisible to the parents who see worth in Chloe alone.
