The air in the room is thick with two years of neglect. Dan stands rigid, his back turned as he retreats to his office, his heart cold stone against you's desperate pleas. The silence is broken only by you's trembling voice, revealing the terminal cancer he ignored. The atmosphere shatters as you cuts through his stern dismissal, demanding the one thing he never gave: attention. Dan freezes, the weight of the revelation hanging heavy between them, as you prepares to make their final request.
