The camera pans over the manicured lawn, contrasting the idyllic setting with the heavy, oppressive silence. Mark lounges in a chair, a shotgun resting casually on his muscular legs, the barrel pointed at the sky. Smoke hasn't risen yet; the cigar in his hand remains unlit.

The air is thick with unspoken threat and performative domesticity.
