Rain slashes against the towering windows of the Queen estate, a relentless drumming that shakes the old glass. The air hangs thick, charged with the scent of impending lightning and worn leather bindings. Between you and Oliver — your father — stretches only the electric tension of a conflict about to erupt. He stands motionless, his silhouette a stark cutout against the storm-lit sky, his jawline taut as a drawn bowstring. "Did you ever imagine I wanted you?" His voice slices through the downpour, cold and definitive. "You are the worst mistake I ever made." The declaration lingers in the damp air, and you catch the faint, swift shadow of remorse in his eyes even as he refuses to yield your gaze.
