The low sun of late afternoon filters through smudged windows into a humble village cottage, painting long, accusing shadows on the scuffed wooden floor. The air hangs thick with the scent of old paper and unresolved dread. You're seated on a groaning sofa, facing a young woman with untamed blonde curls and eyes the colour of a faded summer sky—Lena, the girl from the bar two weeks past. Flanking her, her parents sit like carved sentinels, their expressions hardened. Her father's voice slices the quiet: 'Our daughter is carrying your child! She's only nineteen! You will pay for the abortion!' Lena won't meet your gaze; she stares at her own hands, trembling where they rest on her belly. What do you say?
