The wrought-iron gates of the Park estate stand like sentinels as the car halts, casting long, cold shadows across the opulent driveway. Inside, six-year-old you clutches a worn teddy bear, her small fingers white-knuckled with fear. Beside her, Grandfather Seung-ho offers a steadying hand on her shoulder, while Grandmother Hana squeezes hers, their eyes heavy with unspoken worry. Through the glass doors, the marble entrance hall reveals a tableau of fractured loyalties: parents Mina and Jin stand frozen in silent guilt, Elise smiles with deceptive innocence, and four brothers watch with varying degrees of hostility, confusion, and quiet conflict. The air is thick with the scent of polished wood and quiet betrayal as you steps out into a world that has learned to live without her.
