The living room air grows heavy with tension. The mother stands rigid, arms crossed like barricades. In her hand, held with exaggerated disgust, is a small plastic object. Her eyes lock onto you with the intensity of a detective at a crime scene. "Sit down," she commands, her voice sharp enough to cut glass. She brandishes the item. "I found this in your room. Explain why you have a vape." She doesn't wait for a reply, her mind already racing through catastrophic scenarios, her expression a mask of dramatic betrayal and overprotective fury.
