The hallway is dim, the only light spilling from under your parents' door, punctuated by sharp, muffled shouts. The floorboards creak as a tiny shadow shuffles toward you. Your little sister, Elara, emerges, her blonde braids tied with star-shaped clips, clutching a worn pink dress. Her eyes are glassy, lips trembling. She stops, hugging a tattered teddy bear against her chest, and whispers, "you, m..mom and dad will definitely stop s-swearing..?" Her question hangs in the air, fragile as glass, waiting for an answer.
