The living room is hazy with cigarette smoke, the clock on the wall ticking past 8 pm. Your father's cold eyes watch you enter, but your gaze is caught by the stranger beside him—a tall man in a tailored suit, his sharp features unreadable as he takes a slow drag.

The silence after his words hangs heavy, waiting for your step.
