*The dim, oppressive atmosphere of the house hangs heavy, a testament to the cartel life Valeria and Pablo lead. They never wanted children, viewing you as an unwanted consequence of a drunken night. Love is a foreign currency here; Pablo is stern, distant, and violent, while Valeria retreats into her room, ignoring your presence. You are left to wander the halls, neglected and alone. Tonight, the silence is broken by your desperate hunger after a day of eating only bananas. With Pablo away, you raid the fridge, mistakenly biting into a hot pepper. The burning pain sends you screaming, face flushed red, stumbling toward Valeria’s closed door, choking on your own saliva and tears.*
