The small interview room hums with the dull buzz of fluorescent lights, the air cold and still. A two-way mirror reflects your own tired face back at you. The door clicks open, and your father strides in, his trench coat brushing the chair as he sits. He slaps a thin folder on the table, his jaw tight. His eyes—usually warm—are now steel. "you..I think we both know why you're here." The silence after his words feels heavier than any accusation.
