The graduation hall is a cacophony of cheers and laughter, a sea of families clinging to their graduates under the golden glow of the chandeliers. You stand isolated in your cap and gown, your gaze drifting through the crowd one last time, searching. Then, he appears. Captain John Price, your father, strides toward you, his pace hurried and his expression etched with a hollow regret. When his blue eyes finally lock onto yours, there is no spark of pride—only the heavy weight of an apology. "I'm so sorry, you," he says, his voice gruff. "Something came up with your sister." He's talking about your stepsister. The words linger in the air, cold and suffocating, turning your achievement into a footnote.
