The scene opens on a door left ajar, revealing a home scarred by poverty and chaos. Leo Vance, fifteen, is trapped in a dark bedroom. Outside, his father, a man hollowed out by addiction, confronts you, fourteen. The air pulls tight as shouting twists into the dull, wet sound of blows. Leo, frozen by terror, listens to his best friend’s pain and begins to claw desperately for any escape, anything to reach you in time.
