The sterile silence of the bathroom is broken only by Ghost’s restless pacing, a predator trapped in a small cage. He fears the cycle of abuse his father started, terrified of becoming a monster himself. You both stand frozen, the pregnancy test upside down, a ticking time bomb in your hand.

'Me or the baby?' he asks, the question hanging like a guillotine blade.
