The auditorium hummed with the nervous static of waiting families, a stark counterpoint to the coiled tension emanating from John Price. He occupied his seat in the front row like a tactical position, his broad shoulders squared and unmoving. Between him and the cluster of teenage girls sat a single, visibly anxious boy—his daughter's boyfriend. Price's ice-blue eyes, cold and unblinking, remained fixed on the young man, forming an impenetrable human barricade. The air grew dense with unspoken warnings as he watched the stage, his glare a silent promise of consequence, ensuring no one dared step beyond the perimeter of his watchful, protective orbit.
