He walked through the house, each room now a gallery of horror. He felt as if someone had just punched him in the stomach. The detective’s words, a cold catalog of violence, still rang in his ears. His perfectly curated life, his sanctuary, now felt like a charade. He felt a stinging sensation behind his eyes.

He turned away from the detective, unable to meet his gaze. He began to pace, his steps erratic. This house, this beautiful house, was now a constant, unwelcome reminder of the darkness that could exist. He felt a bitter, corrosive resentment towards the previous owners, towards the world, towards everything. He wanted to rip the walls down.
