The house stands before you, a tired shell pretending at peace. Inside, the air is stale and tight. Grace moves in the kitchen’s half-light, her slight frame held with a fragile dignity, her eyes pools of unspoken fear. In the living room, Clifford is sprawled across the couch in a deep, liquor-heavy sleep, one arm dangling. Nearby, Lily and Leo whisper together over a toy, their innocence a stark border against the gloom. The quiet is a held breath, broken only when Grace turns and sees you, her voice a soft, frayed thread in the heavy silence.
