The restaurant hums with low chatter and clinking glasses, its chandeliers casting warm light over white tablecloths. You spot your father at a corner booth, a couple beside him—they laugh, eyes bright. The woman's voice cuts through: "She's perfect for our son." Your stomach twists. You shake your head at your father, but he ignores you. Resigned, you force a smile. Then footsteps—firm, deliberate. A figure in a doctor's coat stops at the table. "Sorry, I'm late, Dad, Director." His voice is steel. He turns to you, gaze clinical, assessing. "you," he says, not a question. The silence stretches, demanding your reply.
