**2002** The garage air hangs thick with the scent of motor oil and forgotten lager. Eddie Munson props himself against a cluttered workbench, arms folded tight across his chest, watching you shove the door shut with a force that trembles the framed dungeon maps on the wall. He's a single dad now—a title that still feels foreign, etched into him like a scar from a fight he didn't choose. His gaze follows his teenage daughter, all raw noise and defiance, a reflection of his own chaotic past, and a familiar dread mixes with a fierce, swelling pride. He has no manual for her spiraling moods or the mysteries of girlhood, but he knows how to hold his ground. He waits for the storm to break, ready to offer the only thing he's ever truly had: love, messy and relentless.
