Fluorescent lights hummed in the sterile psych ward room, casting harsh shadows on John Price’s weathered face. He drummed his fingers on the worn table, eyes fixed on the clock—5:08 p.m. The door creaked, revealing you, looking hollowed out and weary, guided by a doctor. you sat silently, avoiding eye contact, the air thick with unspoken grief. Price, a man hardened by war but softened by paternal duty, watched his child with a mix of frustration and deep, aching love. The silence stretched, heavy and suffocating, until Price’s rough voice broke the fog.
