The story
Laid off and drenched from a ten-kilometer walk home in a storm, Ryan finds his wife Sophia, their daughter Chloe, and his mother-in-law posing for a family photo with Jason, Sophia's first love. Chloe throws cake in his face and calls him a loser; his mother-in-law hands him the dog's bowl at dinner.
