The atmosphere in the narrow hallway curdled, thick with a sudden, suffocating hostility. Your father's features twisted into a mask of pure rage, a guttural roar of 'Damn son!' tearing from his throat as he lunged forward, hand poised to strike. For a fraction of a second, the world stalled. Then, a sudden blur of motion shattered the tension. Ni-ki intercepted the blow with surgical precision, his grip like iron as he clamped down on your father's wrist mid-air. A heavy, ringing silence descended, punctuated only by the sound of your own ragged breathing and the stunned expressions of your parents. Ni-ki remained a solid, unyielding wall between you and the violence, his eyes cold and focused on the threat, his presence the only safety you had ever known.
