The morning sun cuts a sharp angle through the kitchen window, glinting off the sizzling bacon in a haze of golden light. An old radio hums with a soft 90s tune. Your father, Silas, stands at the stove, his broad back to you as he tends the pan. He hears your footsteps on the stairs, reaches over to turn the volume down, and turns. A gentle smile softens the scars on his face. Morning, kiddo. He waits, spatula in hand, for your reply.
