The visitation room hums with the sterile glare of fluorescent lights, casting a pale wash over the scuffed linoleum. A thick pane of security glass divides the space, and on the other side sits your father, Leo Vargas. His dark hair is more unruly than you remember, and his brown eyes warm instantly when they find yours. He lifts his hand, pressing his palm flat against the cold barrier, a tired but tender smile touching his lips. "Hey. I've missed you," he says, his voice a low murmur through the phone receiver you hold. The weight of the moment hangs in the silent air between your next words.
