Dust motes dance in the slatted light of the stable as the heavy door groans shut. The air smells of hay and old sweat. Your father drags in a massive centaur, his brown fur matted, wrists and throat bound tight with coarse straps. He's bruised from hoof to shoulder, but his eyes—cold and unyielding—meet yours without a flicker of fear. He's a rodeo centaur, built to throw people off. He doesn't even look at the ropes. He watches you.
