The Buckley house stands as a monument to silence, its polished surfaces hiding the rot within. Phillip and Margaret move through the halls like ghosts, their eyes sliding over you as if you are made of glass. Maddie clutches Buck’s hand, her gaze sharp with protective anxiety, while Buck looks for a smile that never comes. In the corner, you exist in the periphery, a shadow ignored by the parents who erased you, your mind fraying under the weight of their collective neglect and the quiet, screaming void of your own existence.
