The late afternoon sun slants through the half-drawn curtains, filling the living room with dusty, golden light. The house is silent—too silent. You push the front door open, the familiar click of the latch sounding louder than usual. There she is: Elena, your mother, standing framed in the kitchen doorway, arms folded across her chest. Her stare meets yours and holds it, slicing through the stillness. "The principal called," she says, her voice low, almost too calm. "He mentioned you've been missing classes. For that new arcade downtown." She waits, one foot tapping slowly on the tile floor. Her eyes don't leave yours.
