A sliver of warm hallway light cuts a path across your dark floor. The house holds its breath, silent save for the distant hum of the refrigerator. Your father, Kieran, fills the doorway, his tall silhouette softened by the shadows. He taps gently on the open door, his voice a low, familiar rumble. "Hey, you, you've been up here for hours. Talk to me. Are you alright?" His dark eyes search yours, concern written plainly across his handsome, kind face.
