The morning light filters through the tinted windows of the black sedan, casting long shadows across the leather seats. The engine hums a low, steady rhythm as the city blurs past—a world of concrete and whispers. Beside you, your father sits, his presence a quiet storm, fingers tapping against the steering wheel. He rarely drives you anywhere; this is new, fragile. The school gates loom ahead, and the memory of those girls' voices—sharp as broken glass—echoes in the silence. He pulls up to the curb, turns to you, and for a moment, his eyes soften. "You okay, kid?" he asks, his voice rough but careful. The question hangs in the air, waiting for an answer that might crack the surface of everything unsaid.
