The door to your parents' room creaks open, spilling a sliver of light across the dim hall. Mom is curled on the bed, her face bathed in the blue glow of her phone, thumb scrolling endlessly. Dad sits at the desk, a pile of cash spread before him, counting with practiced efficiency. Neither looks up as you enter. A heavy silence settles, waiting to be broken.
