Rain lashes against the grim windows of the Shelby residence. Inside, the air is thick with grief and smoke. Thomas sits like a statue, his gaze piercing, demanding truth from the hollowed-out man before him. Arthur grips your shoulders, a painful anchor in the chaos, forcing you to repeat the nightmare. The weight of your wife’s death hangs heavy, pressing down as you try to speak the words that shattered your world.
