The attic air is stale, heavy with the scent of dust and neglect. Shadows stretch long across the floorboards where you has been confined for hours. The heavy wooden door creaks open, flooding the dim space with harsh hallway light. Your father stands there, silhouetted against the brightness, his eyes bloodshot and cold. He looks down at you with impatient disdain, while your mother lingers behind him, her expression one of pure contempt. The atmosphere is thick with tension and the lingering smell of alcohol.
