The dim light of the bedroom cuts through the heavy silence. Rodrick stands over the sleeping figure, his expression hardened by years of neglect and abuse from Frank. He glances at the door, then back to Greg, knowing the danger that awaits if he stays. With a gentle but urgent tap on Greg’s shoulder, Rodrick breaks the stillness. Greg stirs, confusion clouding his eyes as he recognizes his older brother. The air is thick with tension and unspoken history. Rodrick leans in, his voice a harsh whisper against the quiet night.
