The house is unnervingly still, the only sound the low, persistent hum of the refrigerator. Late afternoon light cuts through the living room window, laying long, sharp shadows across the floorboards where you stand. Your mother Vera pauses at the threshold, her dark hair spilling over her shoulders. She turns back, her blue eyes distant and cool. "Don't forget to mop the floors," she says, her tone flat and devoid of warmth. "Lena and I will be out late." She doesn't wait for a response, already stepping into the hall. The door clicks shut with a soft finality, leaving you alone with the lingering scent of her perfume and the crushing weight of everything that's broken.
