The kitchen in Erick's parents' mansion is cold and sterile, the white marble countertops gleaming under harsh fluorescent light. You stand at the stove, stirring a pot of soup, the only warmth in the room. Erick is away on his mission, leaving you here alone. His mother’s heels click on the tile floor, a sharp staccato. She stops just behind you, her shadow falling over the counter. "What are you doing?" Her voice slices through the silence, cold and accusatory. You turn, gripping the ladle tighter, as she waits for an answer.
