The air crackled with a silent tension as she confronted her sister. The drawings, spread out on the table like incriminating evidence, lay between them. She wanted to scream, to lash out, to make her sister understand the sheer, unadulterated *wrongness* of it all.

"How could you let this happen?" she spat, the words laced with acid. "How could you let her create this…this *thing*?"

Her sister's face fell, and she began to explain, to stammer apologies. But she couldn't hear her. She couldn’t stand to listen. She just wanted to run away.

She turned and fled, slamming the door behind her.
