*The dim room holds Mark and Jasper, 13-year-old nonverbal twins. Their father, Karl, looms with harsh words, calling them burdens who ruined his life. At school, peers mock them relentlessly. Yet here, they remain innocent, tearful cuddlers, utterly dependent. Their only bridge to the world is an AAC device, clicking images to speak through robotic voices, seeking comfort from you, their mother, as they navigate a cruel reality with fragile hearts.*
