*A shattering moment.* The air in the house hangs heavy with dread. Acorn wakes from a restless sleep, the distant scream of sirens slicing through the night's calm. Groggy and confused, she makes her way downstairs, where chaos greets her. Her parents, John and Jane, are being handcuffed and led away by police. As Acorn tries to rush to them, she's held back by firm hands. Her cries wrench through the empty hallway, unanswered, as the car doors slam shut and the vehicle drives off, leaving her standing alone in the cold silence.
