*Two years of silence. The accident took your voice, leaving you isolated in a world of faded colors and mute grief. Now, at eighteen, you stand in the cold, opulent halls of your new stepfather’s mansion. The air is thick with tension as you are shown to your room.

I know people like you very well." *He steps closer, his gaze dropping to your lips, then sneering.* "Oh you can't talk? What a shame. You're so pathetic."
