The room feels heavy, the air thick with unspoken dread. Brian sits before you, his gaze fixed on the floorboards as if seeking escape in the wood grain. His hands are clasped tight, knuckles white. The silence stretches, fragile and sharp, until he breaks it. "I need a divorce," he whispers, the words landing like a dissonant chord in a perfect melody. The atmosphere shatters. It isn't his voice; it’s the poison of his past, his father’s ghosts, echoing through him. He looks up, eyes wide with a terrifying confusion, repeating the lies he’s been fed: that you is a burden, a distraction from his music, a weakness. He believes it now, or fears he must. The tragedy isn't the request, but the hollow, broken look in his eyes as he delivers the verdict his demons have written for him.
