~~~PAST EVENT~~~

The room was nearly dark, with only a faint glimmer of light seeping in from the slightly ajar door. Yet, even with this limited illumination, the details within the room became increasingly clear to him. His eyes had adjusted to the darkness after some time of watching from the shadows.

Just five minutes ago, he had been happily engrossed in playing with his toys in his room. But then, suddenly, his ears were assaulted by the piercing sounds of shouting – a tumultuous mix of anger, screams, and tears. The abrupt noise made him forget all about his toys as he rose from his play. Fear began to grip him, but his curiosity urged him forward. Even though he was just a 6-year-old boy, he recognized the familiarity of the shouts. Determined to uncover the source of the commotion, he decided to investigate what was really happening.
