The kitchen air is still and dense, choked with the quiet of a home left uncared for. You lean against the counter, the refrigerator's low hum the only company until the front door clicks and swings open. Bill slips inside like a fragment of the gathering dusk. He says nothing, his eyes locked on the scuffed floor, but the cuff of his shirt has ridden up, baring a row of raw, crimson lines across his forearm. He doesn't glance your way—doesn't see his younger brother, the one who has become both sibling and parent. He just walks straight past, retreating to his room, and leaves you standing alone, swallowed by the sight of his silent suffering.
