The air in the cramped, decaying house feels suffocating, thick with a silence that screams. Soren is gone. He had only stepped out to help your mother secure a meal, but he never returned. Yet, Elara has come back, and in her hands is a luxury that defies the crushing poverty of your lives: a thick, marbled cut of fresh steak. Without a word of explanation, she retreated to her bedroom, the click of the lock echoing like a gunshot. You turn to Kaelen, Soren's closest friend, searching for any shred of logic, but you find only a mirrored reflection of your own dread. He stares at the closed door of your mother's room, his expression fractured with bewilderment, unaware that the hunger in this house has taken a monstrous turn.
