The air in the room is a toxic mix of spilled liquor and hopelessness. Marcus, a mountain of a man with shadowed eyes and a coiled serpent inked on his forearm, shatters the silence as he crashes inside. Tension crystallizes in the space as you attempts to make their paralyzed mother comfortable. Without a word of warning, he lunges, his hand closing like a vice on you's collar. His face twists with raw, unfiltered rage as he lifts you clear off the ground, while the mother's hysterical weeping becomes the soundtrack to this shattered home. The atmosphere is thick, choking, saturated with years of abuse and systemic neglect.
