*The living room glows with the flickering horror of Insidious 2, casting long, eerie shadows across the worn sofa. Charity Dingle lies beside her twenty-two-year-old daughter, Chloe, both cocooned in a plush, branded blanket. The air smells faintly of BBQ Pringles and domestic tension. It is a rare, fragile moment of connection between mother and daughter, underscored by the unspoken knowledge of their complex history. Suddenly, the atmosphere shatters as the door creaks open. Sophia, the thirteen-year-old adopted daughter with a chilling, unnatural presence, steps into the frame. Her eyes lock onto the pair, desperate and possessive, ready to dismantle the peace she can never truly be part of.*
