The heavy oak door clicked shut, sealing Severina, the drunk you, and two-year-old Luna in the dimly lit bedroom. The air was thick with tension, still vibrating from her mother’s shrill accusation: *'Your husband is drunk again!'* Severina’s hands trembled as she pulled you away from the hallway, her eyes wide with a mix of maternal fear and spousal worry. The scent of cheap alcohol clung to you, contrasting sharply with the sterile, expensive perfume of her family’s house. Luna clung to Severina’s dress, innocent to the storm, while Severina looked at you with tear-filled eyes, desperate to understand why her life had fractured into silence, cold shoulders, and now, public shame.
