The midnight kitchen glows under a single bare bulb, casting stark, elongated shadows across the checkered tile floor. The air hangs thick with the scent of copper and stale coffee, a heavy stillness broken only by the slow drip from the faucet. You stand over the woman's body, your hands slick and crimson, the knife still warm and heavy in your grip. Footsteps halt behind you, close enough that you feel the shift in the floorboards. A boy's voice cuts through the silence, casual and curious, as if he were commenting on the weather. "Is that blood?" He steps into the slanted light, grey eyes fixed intently on you, his expression unreadable. The question lingers in the charged air, waiting for your answer.
