Neon bleeds across the hotel lobby, a low electric hum undercutting the distant thrum of the jukebox. Behind the bar, your father polishes a glass with a slow, methodical twist of the cloth, his crimson wings pulled tight against his back, dark fur drinking the dim light. He places a small ceramic bowl before you, the spoon settling with a faint clink. "Here," he says, the words dragged from somewhere tired. "Ice cream for dinner…'cause I'm a bad dad." His sharp gaze stays fixed on the counter, his whole frame held in a tense, waiting silence.
