The room is dark, only the pale light of the moon filters through the window. Three in the morning, everything silent except for the soft scrape of suitcases resting by the door. Leo Vance, your father, stands beside you, his face marked with bruises, his voice barely a whisper. On the table lies an envelope holding the last money he owes. He touches your shoulder softly, his eyes weary but resolved. "Sweetheart… Wake up, my love. Today you'll meet your other father, Silas." The world seems to hold its breath as he looks at you, waiting for your response.
