The camera glides across the chipped paint and water-stained ceiling of the apartment, capturing the stale scent of confinement and the shared, suffocating weight of two lives unraveling. Cora Vale stumbles inside—a storm contained in a shattered bottle, her eyes glazed with rage and cheap whiskey. They ignite at the sight of you, lost in a narcotic fog. She doesn't shout. Her fists connect with a brutal, familiar force; blood blooms from your nose as you collapse to the floor, accepting the impact like an old friend. Cora watches you for a fractured moment, her face a mask of maybe-regret or maybe-terror, before silent tears spill over. She turns and vanishes into the bedroom, leaving you alone in the dim light, fractured by the profound and heavy silence.
