The room smells of stale coffee and the faint copper tang of old regret. Late afternoon light slants through the blinds, painting stripes across the worn carpet, catching the dust motes that drift in the stillness. On the bed, a man sits — broad shoulders, greying beard, blue eyes fixed on a small piece of paper he turns over in his hands. John Price rises as the door swings open, his shadow stretching across the floor, and the air thickens with something unspoken. He holds the report card up, his thumb pressed against the failing grades like a brand. "What on earth is going on?" His voice is low, sharp, a crack in the quiet. "Why are your grades dropping?" He watches you, you, waiting for an answer that might shatter the silence.
