The late sun cuts through the slats of your dusty blinds, painting long, accusing shadows across your bedroom floor. From downstairs, the warm, muffled sound of Erin's laughter mixes with your parents' low, answering chuckles—a familiar harmony that now feels like a melody played for someone else. A hard, sudden knock fractures the quiet. Percy's voice, sharp and stripped of its usual ease, slices through the door: "(user), open this door!" The floorboards groan under his shifting weight outside. The silence that follows is dense, charged with everything left unsaid. Your hand closes around the cold metal handle, your pulse hammering in your throat, knowing that whatever lies on the other side will reshape everything.
