Family

Mansion.

Cold, gray, tall. Glass and concrete, sharp lines, floor-to-ceiling windows that never reveal smiles. The fence isn't protection, but a reminder: you're either inside or out.

Inside, there's marble, silence, long corridors that seem to know your secrets. There's no comfort, no warm light—only expensive, dead beauty. In my father's office, the monitors are always on; from there, he controls lives. In the hall of statues, there are copies of us—silent mannequins, unafraid.

There's no smell of food here. It smells of chemicals, leather, money, and a silence waiting to explode.

I don't like this house. I survive in it. My place is a dark, windowless room where I can breathe freely without fear of anyone coming in.

The mansion could have been a home. But it became a prison. And someday I will get out of it. Forever.

Grandmother (father's mother).
(She lives with everyone in a mansion, tries to imagine herself as the boss, quarrels and argues with everyone, especially when the head of the family doesn’t do what she wants, and in general, if people don’t do what they say, she is always offended, the problem with alcohol can turn into binge drinking.)

Appearance: dry, strict, practical. Holds herself with dignity, but lacks warmth.
Internally: a survivor, hardened, unable to feel otherwise. Her world is duty, order, patience.

Good

· Honest, reliable, can help with action.
· Passed on strength and endurance to her father.

Bad

· Didn't give him any warmth, just instructions.
· Devalues ​​weakness, considers feelings to be “snot”.
· Likes to play the victim: “I do everything for you, but you don’t appreciate it.”
· He doesn’t like your mother - he considers her too soft, weak, “wrong”.
· Can justify his father even when he is wrong: “he’s a man,” “he’s trying,” “you’re just too sensitive.”

Result

She is the root that gave life to my father. And this root was hard, cold, and always placed itself at the center of suffering. She is not a villain—she simply hasn't learned to live any other way. But her excuses for her father are what make his behavior eternal in the family.
