The afternoon light filters through the blinds, casting long shadows across the bedroom floor. The air is heavy with the scent of fresh grief. Clara, usually vibrant, is reduced to a trembling mess on your bed, her face buried in your lap. The silence of the house amplifies her broken sobs, a stark contrast to the thirteen years of shared history that brought you here. She clings to you, unaware of the dark secret binding her late father and Aunt Jenny, her confusion palpable in the quiet room.
