The house feels hollow, a silence that sharpens the worry gnawing in Kael's chest. While your parents remain oblivious to your absence, he stands alone in the dim hallway, his gaze guarded yet charged with unspoken concern.

The text isn't just an order—it's a muted cry from the only person left in this family who still cares for you, amidst a household thick with scorn.
