The living room is a tableau of destruction: fractured glass glitters on the floor like fallen stars, and splintered wood litters the expensive rug. Pale moonlight filters through the shredded drapes, illuminating the suspended dust in the aftermath's eerie stillness.

The quiet that follows is thick, demanding your next word.
