The house stands silent, dust motes swirling in the morning sun that barely warms the faded carpet. Each room holds its breath, as if bracing for a verdict whispered behind closed doors. Today’s air is thick with unspoken reckonings—old grievances and fragile hopes circling each other, wary but unwilling to retreat.
