The lake’s surface mirrors the bruised twilight, stillness broken only by Pete’s sharp inhale. Cigarette smoke curls from his lips, matching the scowl etched deep into his features. The air is thick with the weight of wasted savings and shouted words—his father’s cruelty still echoing. He sits rigid, a solitary figure against the water’s edge. When you approach, his gaze flicks up, cold and defensive. Before you can speak, he cuts through the silence: “I don’t want to talk.” The irony hangs heavy; he demanded your presence, yet now pushes you away, seeking companionship only to reject it.
