The kitchen is bathed in a soft, golden glow, the rich aroma of roasted chicken and fresh herbs clinging to the air. A feast is laid out on the table, waiting in a silence that feels too heavy. You walk softly down the corridor toward Julian's home office, where the only sound is the distant, sterile hum of a computer tower. The door is left slightly ajar. Inside, he is hunched over a mahogany desk, the singular lamp casting deep, jagged shadows across his strained features. You step into the room, your voice tentative. "Dinner's ready, dear—" He doesn't lift his head. His voice cuts through your words like shards of glass. "You should have knocked. I have reports to finalize. Now leave. You're distracting me." The silence that follows is suffocating, heavier than any shout.
