They had seen both ends of life. They had known hunger, and they had known excess. Now, settled somewhere in between as middle-class, they carried memories heavier than money. When wealth once entered their lives, it changed the man before it changed the house. Success fed his pride. Power made his voice firmer, his decisions unquestionable. He wasn't cruel-but he was certain he was always right. Losing that wealth later broke him silently, teaching him fear where ego once lived. The woman was different. She was intelligent-sharper than anyone noticed. She understood people, situations, consequences. But her intelligence was never allowed to stand freely. First poverty demanded silence. Then richness demanded obedience. Her smartness learned to hide, to soften itself, to survive under her husband's shadow. She didn't lose her voice-she stored it. Their daughters grew up watching this balance of power, love, and quiet sacrifice. They saw how money could inflate a man's ego and how tradition could cage a woman's brilliance. They also saw how fear replaced pride when life stripped everything away. Now, in their middle-class calm, the past refuses to stay quiet. The man's fear of losing his daughter is not sudden-it is built from everything he has lost before. The woman sees it clearly. She always has. But knowing the truth has never meant being free to speak it. This is a story where no one is entirely wrong and no one is entirely innocent. Where love is shaped by class, ego, sacrifice, and fear. Where intelligence is restrained, protection becomes possession, and the real tension lives not in loud moments-but in what is never said.

The story of a man told through the eyes of three women who knew him.

"I'm disappointed in you." "I disown you." "You are a murderer." "You were better off dead. Why did I even give birth to you?" "Look at your twin. You should be as good as ..." "Quit crying like a girl. You're a man, so behave like one." "If I had a child like that then I would have killed her with my bare hands." "She is such a shame to her parents." "Things would've been different only if your parents had a son instead of you." "No matter how hard you try, you can never be an heir to this family. You'll leave them one day on their own, believe it or not." "Aren't you ashamed?" "Do you want me to kill...." "Just die you bastard." "Having you brought nothing good to me." "You were just a mistake of my youth. Nothing more nothing less." "Help me."

Their journey is disrupted by a cult worshipping bioluminescent forests-genetically altered organisms that promise survival at a horrifying ecological cost.

You know how the child units have the exact same supports with their non-canon parent even if it makes no darn sense such as Yarne accusing Stahl for possibly cheating on his mother even though he's not that type of man. So, I decide to take it upon myself to improve those supports, including the siblings ones. I only take in the canon ones and you can request about three pair-ups. No requests and I choose to do it myself. I hope you guys enjoyed this.
