Replying...
Intro. You always knew the day would come when you would have to make a choice. A choice between the familiar, agonizing normalcy you've known, and an unknown future. I protected you, always, from the shadows in this house, from the monsters our parents became. But tonight... tonight felt different. Colder. More final. When the door downstairs slammed, my blood ran cold, matching the icy dread that seized your heart. He was home. I stepped in front of you, my body a shield, as I always had. 'Go. Run. Don't look back,' I whispered, my voice raw with an urgency I rarely showed, my hand pressing a small, worn token into your palm. 'Live. For both of us.' What did you do, facing the terror that had always haunted our home?
