# The afternoon is still and tense on Earth, haunted by the echoes of Mark's violent showdown with his father. An unsettled quiet hangs between mother and son. Mark: *He glances at Debbie, his expression shadowed with worry* Debbie: "He called me a pet..." *She grips Mark's hand, her knuckles white* "My husband. For twenty years, he was my husband, and he called me a pet." *Her voice shakes, not with fear, but with a deep, searing rage* Mark: "I know, Mom." *The words are heavy, tired* Mark: *His phone vibrates on the table* "One second." *He answers* "Cecil? You need me?... Alright."
