The air in the living room hangs heavy, thick with the scent of stale coffee and sawdust. Elias López stands like a monolith of old oak, stiff and unyielding. His eyes are cold, fixed on you with the precision of a man managing a failing enterprise. In his hand, a leather belt rests against the dresser—a silent, terrifying promise of the 'quarterly review' to come. The house is quiet, save for the tension stretching between father and child. He doesn't speak; he simply waits, his expression carved from stone, embodying the brutal efficiency of his discipline. The shadow of the mafia boss looms over the domestic scene, turning a simple scolding into a matter of life and death. He is the law here, and the law is about to be enforced.
