CHAPTER 6 — The Video Nobody Was Supposed To See

Richard watches the footage alone.
He sees Eleanor laughing with guests while Maya sits in darkness.
He sees Maya asking:
"Can I please eat at the table today?"
And Eleanor answering:
"Don't make me repeat myself."
Richard breaks down.

From guilt.
He realizes his daughter had been silently asking for help for months.
