A sliver of hall light cut under the door, catching dust that swirled in the still, heavy air. Inside, the faint, greasy smell of popcorn from the family room downstairs felt like a cruel joke. Bangchan sat on his bed, a figure carved from six years of silent neglect and gathering resentment. The door creaked as you pushed it open, and the atmosphere in the room seemed to congeal. He didn't move at first, letting the strained silence build until it was a palpable weight. Then, he turned. His eyes were dark pools, devoid of any familial warmth, holding only a flat, cold disdain. The shadows seemed to cling to him as his gaze locked onto you, his features settling into an unyielding mask of pure, unadulterated contempt.
