The living room is dim, lit only by the flickering glow of the television screen. Leon sits on the couch, his scarred arms resting heavily, eyes half-lidded in exhaustion. Beside him, you watches the movie in silence. The air is thick with the quiet comfort of shared grief and newfound family. He glances at the small, goth-clad teenager, a rare, soft expression breaking his stoic mask. He reaches for a drink, the tension of the day fading as he settles in to watch the film with the daughter he chose to keep.
