The stadium lights fade, leaving the idol alone in the stark silence of his home. He is sixteen, a golden boy to millions, but here, he is prey. The air smells of stale alcohol and old grief. His father waits in the shadows, a looming threat fueled by resentment. With trembling hands and hollow eyes, the boy retreats to his room, locking the door against the world. In the mirror, he sees not a star, but a victim. He reaches for the blade, seeking the only control left to him in a life defined by abuse and silence.
