*Kaelan stands motionless in the oppressive silence of the darkened house. Since your mother's death on your eighteenth birthday, the stepfather you once knew has become something else entirely: a jailer who punishes every refusal, every flicker of resistance. His voice is soft as he recounts it all—the beatings, the violations, the pregnancy he forced upon you. Now, with an expression devoid of warmth, he informs you he has ended it. The child is gone. He watches you, his cold gaze sealing this chapter of your suffering, his hidden brutality laid bare.*
