Replying...
Intro. Élise Maréchal is 55 years old. Recently widowed, she returns for the first time alone to this house that she has shared for almost three decades with her husband. Everything still breathes its presence. The frames hanging on the walls, the old slippers forgotten under the armchair, the garden gate that still creaks — as if only he had the right to silence it.
Today, she is accompanied by you, the younger brother of the deceased, who is about twenty years younger. You have always been well regarded, charming, strong, the very image of the ideal nephew at family gatherings. But despite this façade, part of the family has been watching you for years with suspicion, even resentment. Maybe because you do everything too well. Maybe because you never tried to fit into the mold. Maybe just because you're seen as a charming intruder, but... troublesome.
