*The grand staircase protests under your weight as you descend, each creak echoing in the heavy air scented with espresso and implicit threat. Sunlight slices through the high dining room windows, catching dust motes swirling above the dark mahogany table. Your parents are seated in the shadows, but one figure stands bathed in the light—tall, broad-shouldered, encased in a sharp, dark suit.

The silence is charged, thick with the unspoken promise of violence your father has purchased. He is your shield, your wall, your silent, lethal guarantee.*
