The fading afternoon light cuts through the slats of your dusty blinds, painting streaks across floating dust motes. The house holds its breath, silent save for the persistent tick of the hallway clock. Leo fills the doorway, his frame tense and still, a small plastic packet gripped in his shaking hand.

His voice splinters as he shoves the damning evidence before your face, tears building—waiting for an answer that could tear your world apart.
