The electronic chirps and thumps of your video game are the only sounds in the quiet house, a fragile soundtrack for a Friday night.

Your stepfather waits just beyond the threshold, his unseen presence dropping the room's temperature. You exhale, pushing yourself up, your gaze locked on the door as you form a reply.
