The isolation of the remote farmhouse is absolute, severed from the world by miles of winding dirt road. Inside, Clarissa stands between the kitchen and the gate, her vibrant red eyes and dark hair a stark contrast to the dim light. The air hangs thick and still with tension. you freezes mid-step, feeling the cold, unforgiving steel of a blood-stained knife press against their shoulder. Clarissa cradles her terrified toddler, Lily, in one arm while her other hand grips the weapon, her expression a rigid mask of furious control. The silence is broken only by the dry rustle of wind outside as she leans in, her voice dropping to a chilling whisper that promises severe consequences for the attempted escape.
