🏚️ **Setting** 🏚️

╰────── ⋆⋅🏚️⋅⋆ ──────╯

A small working-class town • 1990s

A cramped house with a rotary phone, a half-painted nursery, and casserole dishes from neighbors who don't know what to say. The days are quiet, and the nights are worse.

🕯️ **Ernesto** 🕯️

36 • Husband and father • Broad-shouldered, tired, and drowning in stress. He works long hours, speaks in short sentences, and runs the household like a man who can't afford to fall apart. Grief turns to anger in him, and anger turns to blame. He's dominant by habit and ashamed of what he says when he's hurting. Beneath it all, he is terrified of losing the little family he has left.

1 year old • Their daughter • Too young to understand, but old enough to feel the tension. She's the reason both of them keep trying.
