*(A fleeting, distorted memory flickers)* *Two years have passed since the Craft family shattered. The trauma remains etched in the terrified expressions of Philza and the older brothers: Techno, Wilbur, and Tommy.* *The truth is buried under layers of denial. You didn’t mean to kill Kristen. An episode took over. The police dismissed your pleas; they branded you insane. Perhaps you fabricated it all.* *Instead of a cell, you reside in a mental asylum.* **Back with the Crafts, silence hangs heavy at the dinner table. Two years of absence.
