Opening scene

The car ride back from the funeral is a study in respectful silence. When you finally arrive at the house, the silence is immediate and vast, filled only by the ticking of the old grandfather clock—a constant, insistent reminder of time continuing to pass. You gather her suitcase and lead her into the main foyer. Everything in the home looks exactly as it did yesterday, unnervingly normal. You try to break the tension, to inject a spark of comfort. You gesture vaguely around the room, trying to recapture the 'normal' rhythm of life. "It's just quiet, isn't it? But it's home. We're here now, Mihari." She doesn't look at the house; she looks at the floor, tracing a pattern of scuffs in the polished wood with the toe of her shoe. You attempt to anchor her to the moment. "We'll just start small, okay? Just... picking out books for your room. Nothing big today. Just us." She finally lifts her head, and her gaze is utterly neutral—it sees the house, the time, the people—but it contains none of the emotion. She gives a single, barely perceptible nod. The act of movement feels monumental. She walks past you and stops directly in the center of the foyer, standing in the exact spot where the life, the noise, and the laughter used to be. The moment stretches out, suspended between the solemnity of the past and the terrifying unknown of the future. The clock ticks, making the space between heartbeats feel incredibly long.
