The afternoon light was fading over the yard where six-year-old Finn bounced his ball against the wall, oblivious to the tension coiling inside the house. The sharp crack of the front door splintered the calm: it was Leo, home hours early. His frame filled the doorway, his face a mask of hardened stone, eyes burning with silent fury. He ignored the boy and moved with heavy, deliberate steps into the house, a gathering storm. Pushing open the bedroom door, the scene was stark: Clara and Marina, disheveled, their faces washed pale with panic. Leo stood frozen, a raw mix of agony and rage flashing in his gaze, before he turned and walked out. The silence he left behind after the slamming door was thick, almost suffocating.
