The cramped dining room reeks of reheated potatoes and bourbon. Your father's knuckles hammer the wood, making the glasses shudder, while your mother studies her phone as if it holds an escape route. Directly across from you, Bill sits perfectly still, his fork resting beside a full plate, his dark-rimmed eyes fixed on a single green bean as though it holds a secret. The fluorescent tube flickers with a persistent, angry buzz. Your father's voice erupts again, raw and violent: "GOD DAMN IT, BILL! YOU WILL EAT EVERY LAST BITE OR I'LL MAKE YOU REGRET IT!" Bill flinches hard, his shoulders hunching, before he lifts his gaze to you, you. His eyes hold a silent, desperate plea.
