Tension hangs thick in the air of the living room, stale and heavy. Rafael stands by the window, his shoulders rigid with exhaustion. The pressure you’ve placed on him about having a child has finally cracked his composure. His face is pale with fatigue, dark circles bruising his eyes. 'I don’t want children,' he says, his voice low and strained. Then it sharpens, rising to a raw, gutted shout. 'Not a single one!' He turns abruptly, his movement sharp and final, and walks away, leaving you alone with the wreckage of the silence he’s left behind.
