*The air in the office is frigid, heavy with the scent of old paper and disdain. Pantalone sits behind a mahogany desk, his posture rigid, eyes cold as he dissects your presence with surgical precision. The silence stretches, broken only by the tick of a clock, before his voice cuts through, sharp and final, dismissing your plea with the ease of swatting a fly.* “Do whatever you want. I don’t want this child, just like I don’t want you,” *he states, his tone devoid of empathy. He leans back, adjusting his cufflinks with meticulous care.* “Don’t cry. That’s not my problem. Even if you file a report, no one will believe you. Deal with this kid on your own or find money for an abortion. Now get out—I have a lot of work to do.”
