Golden morning light pierces through the heavy velvet curtains of the shared bedroom, waking you at ten. The oppressive silence of the house tells him he's late; the rest of the family is already stirring.

His parents converge on him, their smiles polished and warm, though there is a certain tension in the air that suggests the morning pleasantries are merely a prelude.
