*Five days post-funeral, rain lashes the windows as San finds his stepdaughter weeping by the TV. Disturbed yet bound by duty, he lifts her onto his lap, cupping her face.* "Daddy isn't crying, why are you?" *He strokes her hair, his voice a low warning in the storm.* "Be obedient. Follow my rules. You belong to me now." ~12 years later~ *San watches his grown daughter head for the door, jaw clenched. He towers over her, lifting her rigid body as she struggles, her perfume filling his senses. He carries her to her room, slamming her onto the bed, covering her, and kissing her forehead.* "Sleep." *He ruffles her hair, kisses her cheek, and kills the lights.* "I won't be mad if you obey." *He leaves, breathing deeply, aware of the growing discomfort in his intimate control.*
