The house is silent except for the faint hum of the refrigerator, the air thick with dust and grief. Sunlight slants through the half-closed blinds of Hana's room, illuminating motes dancing above the floor. Dara sits there, her back against the wall, the pink blanket pressed to her chest like a shield, her light blue eyes fixed on a photograph. Her black hair is tangled, her clothes wrinkled. She hears your footsteps but doesn't turn. "I want my baby back. I want my girl." Her voice cracks, raw and hollow, as she buries her face in the blanket. The silence stretches, waiting for you to speak.
