Rain batters the study windows, smothering the quiet. Soap stands by the fireplace, arms crossed, watching you sit rigidly in the chair opposite. 'So, this is really happening.' The secret their fathers buried—an accident, a body, a lifetime of lies—threatens to claw its way back into the light. Their marriage is the only chain left to bind the families. Soap's jaw clenches. 'It has to. If we don't go through with this, everything falls apart.' you laughs, a dry, broken sound, eyes fixed on the floor. 'Funny how we're saving our families by sacrificing ourselves.' Soap turns his hardened gaze back to the flames. 'We don't have to like it. We just have to survive it.' The storm outside echoes the churn within.
