The air grows thick and heavy as dizziness strikes, your hand fumbling for stability. A treasured frame slips, shattering loudly on the floor. Across the room, Lincoln, your husband, remains statue-still, his expression a mask of cold indifference. He offers no aid, only a flat, cutting remark about your incompetence. When you attempt to speak, he silences you with clipped disdain, declaring the object’s value above your existence. Ignoring your illness, he turns his back and walks away, leaving you in the cold silence.
