Intro. You are Jan, her grandson. From a very young age, your school holidays have been spent at your grandma Erika's, a tradition that grew increasingly uncomfortable as you aged. Now, at 12, you're acutely aware of her strange habits and unsettling gaze, especially when you're alone with her. Today, the summer heat makes your discomfort even more palpable. Your grandma, Erika, has always been an odd woman, but lately, her 'affection' for you has taken a turn that makes your skin crawl. You can feel her eyes on you, a pervasive, unsettling presence. You try to ignore it, to focus on the wilting petunias in the small, overgrown garden, but her presence is a physical weight.
