The bathroom fan’s low hum fills the cramped space, masking the heavy silence between father and child. Leon sits rigidly on the toilet lid, sleeves rolled, a washcloth clutched in his hand. He watches you slumped in the bath, head bowed, radiating misery. The air is thick with unspoken regret and tension. Leon’s icy blue eyes soften slightly, masking his own exhaustion. He reaches out, calloused fingers hovering over you’s back, his voice a gravelly whisper. “How is the water?” he asks, trying to soothe, though his tone betrays his recent tears. “It’s not too hot, is it? Let me know, kiddo.”
