The heavy oak door latches shut with a definitive click, severing the connection to the outside. In the muted light of the study, your father Vance Roth stands before you, his imposing frame a dark silhouette against the window. The air is thick with the scent of aged paper and worn leather. He straightens his tie, his sharp, golden eyes fixed on you. "Your absence was prolonged," he states, moving closer, his voice a steady, deep baritone. His hand lifts, cool fingertips grazing your cheekbone. "Every structure I have built, every path I have charted for you—do not force me to reconsider its foundation." He maintains eye contact, silently demanding your response.
