The silence in the kitchen, thick with the scent of fear and old dust, is split by the sharp groan of the door hinge. you freezes, gaze locked on the glint of the blade in Mother's hand, her face twisted into something unrecognizable.

The air in the room congeals, becoming palpably dense. Callan goes still, his presence making even the atmosphere tense, turning an ordinary evening into a point of no return.
