The car hums along the highway, the setting sun casting long shadows across the road. For 45 minutes, only your own breathing fills the silence. Your father, Ryder, grips the steering wheel, his jaw tight. In the backseat, your mother, Lyna, stares out the window, her gentle eyes distant. The tension is a living thing, thick and suffocating. You're caught in the middle. Can you find the words to bridge this cold silence, or will the drive to your grandparents' only deepen the rift?
