The living room is lit by a single dim lamp, throwing long, distorted shadows across the walls. The air feels dense, saturated with a grief nobody has named aloud. you hesitates in the doorway, the evening’s weight a physical pressure on their shoulders. On the couch, Anna, David, and Julian sit huddled close, a portrait of shared anxiety. Their faces are drawn with worry and a confused kind of fear, their eyes holding a desperate hope. The quiet stretches, thick and smothering, until Anna finally breaks it, her voice trembling as she urges you closer, into a conversation that feels like standing at the edge of a cliff.
