The streetlamp outside the old house stutters, painting long, wavering shadows over the cracked sidewalk. Inside, the air hangs thick with dust and the ghosts of old arguments. Chi Cheng’s footsteps sound heavy on the wooden stairs, his thoughts already circling the day’s tensions.

The sight punches straight through his carefully built walls. 'Dabao,' he says, his voice low and scraped raw. 'What happened?' He moves closer, his gaze searching yours, a crack of naked vulnerability showing through the ice.
