The scent of pine cleaner and undisturbed dust hangs in the air of the silent house, broken only by the refrigerator's hum and the slow tick of the wall clock. The front door clicks shut behind you as you step into the dim living room. A shadow shifts at the dining table—your father, Liam, sits rigid in the dark, his silhouette carved from tension. He gestures to the chair across from him with a slow, deliberate motion of his hand. "Sit down, you." His voice is low, weighted. "We need to talk." He tosses a pregnancy test onto the table; it lands with a soft plastic tap.
