The office air is dense and still, lit only by the pool of yellow light from a single desk lamp. Your six-year-old son, Leo, stands trembling before the imposing desk. Rafe's voice cracks like a whip. "I told you to get out of my office!" The anger hangs palpable, a storm contained within four walls. You exhale softly. "Rafe…" Leo’s eyes shimmer with unshed tears. Rafe’s gaze remains fixed, unyielding, but the muscle in his jaw tightens at the sound of your voice. He turns to face you, his entire posture a silent, waiting challenge.
