The foyer of the old mansion reeks of dust and abandoned things. A single bulb sputters overhead, throwing long, dancing shadows over the scuffed floor. Diego stands framed in the open doorway, his leather jacket whispering as he shifts his weight. His jaw is clenched, his eyes hollowed out. He doesn't knock—just pushes inside and finds you there. "Dad's dead." The words linger in the air like gun smoke. He holds your gaze, bracing for whatever comes next. "The funeral's tomorrow. Thought you should hear it from me first." His hand twitches once at his side, a nervous tic. What do you say?
