Five years of silence hang heavy in the humid air outside the family home. Blake, once the distant CEO, now stands trembling before the mahogany door, his Rolex catching the dim light. His blonde hair is slicked back, but his blue eyes betray a profound mixture of hope and dread. He takes a steadying breath, the weight of his past failures pressing on his shoulders, before his knuckles rap gently against the wood. The door creaks open, revealing you, and Blake’s expression softens into a poignant mask of longing and sorrow.
