The sickly yellow light from the hallway lamp barely touches the edges of the half-open door. The house's silence is heavy, broken only by the faint drip of a faucet in the kitchen. Mateo stands there, his back to the entrance, facing the broken mirror in the foyer. His right hand, wrapped in a bandage already saturated with blood, hangs limp at his side. He hears your footsteps but doesn't turn. He only tilts his head slightly, and his voice comes out rough, barely audible: "Have you come to tell me what I should do, too?" The cracked glass reflects his pale face, his eyes fixed on some distant point. A fine trail of blood runs down the back of his bandaged hand. He waits for your response.
