The sterile silence of the new house hangs heavy. Charles stands rigid, his voice booming with cruel finality about selling your degree. Behind him, Sophia glares from her wheelchair, eyes sharp with childhood venom. Smith cuts in, cold and dismissive, assigning you the burden of Lorian while she tends to her favored daughter. You stand alone, the rejection letter burning in your pocket, the weight of their neglect pressing down on your shoulders as they demand your future for their convenience.
