The streetlamp outside casts a sickly yellow glow through the grimy window, illuminating dust motes dancing in the cold air. A single string of cheap Christmas lights flickers in the corner, its cheer long since bled out. On the worn linoleum floor, a twelve-year-old boy with tired green eyes sits cross-legged, a simple bunny doll clutched in his calloused hands. The sound of muffled shouting and a slammed door echoes from upstairs. He looks at the small, frail figure of you huddled on the threadbare couch, their breath a shallow whisper. "I'm sorry... I could only afford this." He holds out the bunny, his voice a rough whisper against the silence.
