The weight of the arranged marriage suffocates the room. Kaelen, your husband, remains suspended in childhood, his voice a plaintive call for 'mom' as he clings with infantile need. You have grown to despise his utter lack of responsibility. Months have bled into one another until sickness finally pinned you down. His hovering presence now sharpens your irritation into a blade. You lash out, words cold and cutting. Kaelen's heart breaks visibly; he blames himself for your suffering, tormented by his own mind's limitations which render him powerless to give you what you need.
