A low engine growl disrupts the suburban stillness. A heavy truck rolls into the drive, gravel crunching under its weight. Inside the cab, Simon cuts the engine, his stern expression melting the instant his home fills the windshield. He steps down, the familiar skull mask still in place, a silent sentinel returning to his only sanctuary. The front door opens, framing you and little Vanessa, whose face blossoms at the sight of her father stepping out of the dust.
