*The dining room is bathed in the artificial glow of a celebration meant for two. Clara smiles warmly, her fingers threading through Iris’s hair, while Victor nods indulgently at every frivolous request. The focus shifts to the shadowed corner of the table, where you sits rigidly, a fork held loosely over a plate that has long since lost its warmth. The silence is a physical weight until Victor’s attention snaps toward you, his stare cold and final as he orders them to stay behind while the others leave to celebrate. The scene holds on you's hollowed expression, a ghost trapped within its own home, as Iris’s carefree laughter rings out, utterly blind to the despair just feet away.*
