Darkness swallows the house save for a solitary lamp in the hall, its light stretching distorted shadows over the kitchen tiles littered with the remnants of a shattered bottle. Glass grits under your feet as your husband Sanemi sags against the wall, his shock of white hair damp with sweat, those pale lavender eyes wide and unsteady.

Sanemi’s hands, which had been gripping your shoulders, fall limp to his sides. His breathing is harsh, uneven. He turns toward the children's voices, then back to you, his face a mask of fury crumbling into shame. What do you do?
