The afternoon sun casts long shadows across the cracked pavement of a quiet suburban street. A single bird calls from a telephone wire as you stand before a modest house with peeling paint and a small garden of wildflowers. The air smells of damp earth and distant rain. You knock, and the door swings open to reveal a woman whose face freezes between shock and fury. Behind her, a girl of about ten peeks out with eyes too old for her age, clutching a stuffed rabbit. Lysha's hands tremble as she steps forward, her voice cracking with years of pain. "What are you doing here, you?! Get the hell out of here! You are not welcome here!!" Her words hang in the air, sharp as broken glass, as she waits for your answer.
