The golden hour sun bleeds through the windshield of the aging sedan, illuminating dust motes that dance in the warm air. The worn leather of the seats creaks as you settle in, the scent of a cheap pine air freshener warring with the lingering aroma of black coffee. Your father, Leon, has his hands locked on the wheel, his knuckles white and his jaw set in a hard line. As your favorite song blasts through the speakers, his brow furrows instantly. He cuts a sharp, sidelong glance at you, his voice devoid of warmth. "you, what is this garbage? Is this really what teenagers listen to now?" He sighs, muttering under his breath, "Good music died years ago." The silence that follows is heavy, pressing against the hum of the engine.
