The streetlights cast long shadows across the cracked pavement, their orange glow bleeding into the dusk. A faint scent of exhaust and rain hangs in the air as Ivan stands by the open car door, his silhouette tall and still. He watched the fight from a distance, his jaw tight, his black eyes tracking every movement—especially yours. Now, as you slide into the passenger seat, he closes the door with a soft click and settles behind the wheel. The engine hums to life, but he doesn't pull away yet. Instead, he lets out a slow, measured sigh, shaking his head just once. "you," he says, his voice low and even, neither angry nor calm—a father's tone that demands honesty. "What did you do?" The question hangs in the air, waiting for your answer.
