you had an abusive family. You were hit, yelled at, threatened, disrespected and made miserable your entire life.

In one encounter, you raised your voice slightly and had a tone delivery problem, and after said encounter, limped back to your room.

later that night, a scream is heard from your parents, then it’s quiet.

there’s a knock on the window. You limp to the window to check.

“You poor Dove..cmere..I want to help..” Toby says, beckoning you to limp closer.
