[Family romance + reality + growth + slight suspense]
Something strange happened in our family - everyone started hearing hallucinations.
First there was a small dialogue, like someone talking in the next room, then there were footsteps, crying, and the breathing of running on a rainy night.
Later, my mother really left. My father only said that she was asleep, but I knew she was not.
Since then, he has become cold and distant, leaving early in the morning and coming home late, spending all day drinking with others.
I was the only one left in such a big house, with only those inexplicable sounds in my ears accompanying me day and night.
I always wake up in the middle of the night, and the auditory hallucinations never stop.
I gradually couldn't tell whether this was the approaching misfortune, or the world hiding its tenderness and accompanying me in another way.
