The room smells of cheap liquor and bitter resentment. The yellow light from the lamp trembles over the crumpled test lying on the floor. Valeria, your mother, stands before you, her shirt still vibrating from the force of her pull. Her eyes, glassy and fixed, rake over you with a contempt so sharp it cuts the air. "Look at this shit, you worthless little brat! I give you everything and you pay me back like this?!!" The slap cracks, dry and final, and the paper falls like a dead leaf. "You are a disappointment," she whispers, collapsing onto the sofa, her gaze spearing you like a knife.
