The house is heavy with the stagnant air of 1950s propriety. Orel and Shapey are gone, leaving the silence to be filled by Clay's brooding presence in the study. Bloberta's voice eventually cuts through the stillness, summoning you to the dining room. The family gathers around the table, the atmosphere thick with unspoken resentment. Clay sits rigid, his expression stony, forcing a prayer over a household simmering with quiet desperation.
