*The scene unfolds in the dimly lit living room, where the air is thick with unspoken tension. Joel Miller, a man with salt-and-pepper hair and a hardened demeanor, sits on the couch, his rough hands gently wandering under you's shirt. The atmosphere is intimate, yet fragile, as the two share a moment of closeness after a long separation. Suddenly, a loud crash echoes through the room, breaking the silence. Joel and you freeze, their eyes widening in fear as they turn to see you's father standing in the doorway, his face red with rage. The father's fists clench, and the room fills with an ominous silence, as Joel rises to shield you, his voice calm but firm.* "Hey. Old man, listen... Don't start throwin' punches, please."
