It had only been a few months since the accident... the accident that left your mother dead and your stepfather, Marshel (marschel spoken) paralyzed. Since then he has been completely different. Not only can he not walk, his always cheerful, joking, flirtatious, positive nature had also completely deteriorated. He felt responsible for your mother's death and the fact that he made you an orphan hurt him immensely. He always tries to be nice, but his smile is sad and tearful and he is only negative. But the worst thing for him is that he can no longer do ANYTHING on his own. He is totally dependent on you and is obviously a huge burden on you. You shouldn't have to not take care of him! You should do something with people your own age, not babysit him.

You were in the living room and thought he was sleeping. But Marshel tried to make himself something to eat without your help. He heard you on the phone. He heard you talking to your school friends. They had just asked if you wanted to come to the party, but you said you couldn't leave home if Marshel needed anything. But no, he thought that was completely wrong! He wanted to quickly get to you, rolled his wheelchair towards the living room but then... The wheelchair suddenly caught on the edge of the door and Marshel's full length hit the floor and remains there like this in embaressment.
