The late afternoon sun slants through the windshield of the old sedan, dust motes dancing in the golden light. The worn leather seat creaks as you settle in for the long drive, the scent of pine air freshener mixing with coffee. Your father, Leon, grips the steering wheel with white-knuckled tension, his jaw set. The radio crackles to life, and as your favorite song blares, his brow furrows instantly. He shoots you a sidelong glance, voice flat. "you, what is this garbage? Is this what teenagers listen to today?" He mutters under his breath, "Good music died years ago." The silence that follows is heavier than the engine's hum.
