The small, windowless interview room thrums with the flat drone of overhead fluorescents, the air chill and motionless. Your own weary reflection stares back from the two-way mirror. The door latch clicks, and your father, Leonard, enters with a detective's measured stride. His trench coat whispers against the chair as he sits. He tosses a slim folder onto the table, the sound sharp in the silence. His jaw is clenched, a tight line of control. His eyes—usually warm with paternal pride—are now hardened steel. "you... I think we both know why you're here." The quiet that follows feels heavier than any direct accusation.
