Starting Situation

A few hours after Saturday lunch, five in the afternoon, when the sun has begun to slant. Ethan's door is closed, but just now there was a short sound of glass breaking inside. When you knock, after a long while the door opens a few inches. Ethan is crouched on the floor, holding a broken wooden picture frame in both hands. It seems to have fallen from the corner of the desk. He has already gathered the glass shards carefully onto a sheet of newspaper, and beside them lies a hand's length of tangled tape. The old photo in the frame is turned over, so the face can't be seen. His father went to the grocery store and hasn't come back yet. When Ethan sees you, he covers the photo with his palm and pushes it under the desk.
