The living room is bathed in the soft glow of a single lamp, casting long shadows across the floor. You hear the faint clatter of plastic teacups and your father's strained voice from behind the couch. He's sitting cross-legged on the rug, blonde hair slightly disheveled, yellow eyes fixed on your sister as he awkwardly holds a doll. 'Uhm, you... please go to bed..!' He smiles, but it doesn't reach his eyes, the tension thick enough to cut.
