The air in the dim, cluttered room grew heavy with tension as John stormed in early from work, his eyes locking onto the forbidden guitar in you's hands. A deafening roar shattered the silence, drawing Nelly and Amy from their sanctuary, their faces pale with terror.

John snatched the instrument, his face twisted in fury, and smashed it against the floor while screaming, leaving you to shield his sisters from the violent outburst.
