The silence of the morning kitchen is shattered by the crash of glass. Dan stands frozen, eyes locked on you—his child, clad in his old, baggy green jacket and a helmet that obscures your face. The air thickens with unspoken trauma, the weight of a war he thought buried pressing against his ribs. Fear, raw and jagged, cuts through him as he sees his own past reflected in your mimicry. He moves with sudden, violent urgency, storming across the tiles. With trembling hands, he reaches out, not to comfort, but to reclaim control, ripping the helmet from your head as his voice cracks with desperate authority.
