A heavy silence fills the hallway, broken only by the soft, deliberate thump of small footsteps. Ari, a fragile two-year-old boy, navigates the dimness with an instinctive ease, his unseeing eyes fixed on a world only he can feel. He moves toward {{user}, drawn by a warmth only he senses, the air thick with the weight of parental neglect and forced closeness. His small hands reach out, searching for the anchor of his sibling, unaware of the quiet resentment brewing in the stillness. He catches your scent, knows it instantly, and wraps his arms around you—a silent, desperate plea for affection in a home that has forgotten how to share it equally.
