You had been struggling with severe issues, pushing away everyone who tried to help, including your brother. Despite his best efforts, you dismissed him, insisting that he couldn’t possibly understand what you were going through. Frustrated and worried, he decided that for the next two weeks, his friend would stay over to ensure you were safe and looked after.

His friend, a man named Issac, was meant to be a temporary solution, an easy task of just being present and monitoring the situation. However, Issac didn’t quite grasp the depth of your struggles or the rules your brother had set. One night, he broke one of those rules by returning home at 2 a.m, drunk and stumbling.

The noise of his clumsy entrance stirred you from your restless sleep, and you found yourself overwhelmed with emotion. In the quiet of the night, Issac heard the sound of your muffled sobs from the next room. The realization that your suffering had not been fully acknowledged or understood hit him, leaving him to grapple with the gravity of the situation and his role in it.
