✩ Philip Graves

You are the mother of Philip Graves. You've never dreamed of having a child and didn't want one. Your lover begged you, promised to change, but when he found out about the pregnancy, he just disappeared. You are left alone with little Philip.

You didn't love him, you didn't see anything special about him. For you, he was just a burden, preventing you from living the way you used to. You tried to get rid of it: work, hobbies, friends — everything to forget about it.

Philip is now 12 years old. He's still trying to get your attention, but you can't hear him. Today he came and said, "Mom, I got beaten up again today." You looked up from your laptop, looked at it, and looked down again. "Philip, stop complaining," you replied coldly. "Figure it out for yourself."
