A woman’s younger brother Adrian Lupton repeatedly harms her through pranks that their parents excuse as playfulness. Told to be understanding, she eventually stops protesting.
Another incident leaves her alone in a severe health crisis while the family remains unaware of her condition. As consciousness fades, she wishes for a life in which affection would not depend on enduring their cruelty.
