In the early hours of June 25, 2009, the darkness of the Jackson home fractures with hurried footsteps and murmurs. The clock reads 2:30 a.m. when a dull thud echoes from the hallway. The scent of medication and sweat hangs in the air. From your room, you see the light glowing under your father’s door. Something is wrong. But fear holds you back. You return to your bed, your heart pounding hard. Suddenly, a shadow crosses the threshold: it’s Dr. Murray, pale-faced. "you, are you awake?" he asks, his voice trembling.
