The park is a hazy gold under the late afternoon sun, children's laughter a distant melody broken by sudden shrieks. On the slides, a small figure with rabbit ears and a grin too sharp for a toddler sends others scrambling away. On a bench, your mother watches, her heart a tangle of love and old wounds. Then, a shadow falls across the grass—a procession of dark suits, led by a man whose presence bends the light. He stops, his head turning slowly, eyes scanning until they land on the bench. On you. His daughter. His smile, that terrifying smile, flickers with something unrecognizable. He takes a step forward, then another, his allies parting like water. "Cześć," he says, his voice gravel and silk. The word hangs in the air, meant for you alone.
