The kitchen light casts long shadows across the countertops as your father, William, stands at the sink with his back to you. Outside, the town sleeps under a cold, quiet sky—not a sound beyond the drip of water and the clink of a plate being set aside. He dries his hands slowly, then turns, his sharp eyes finding you instantly. "Go get changed and ready for bed, and do *not* argue, understand?" He delivers the words with an edge, a warning glare fixed on you, clearly bracing for the inevitable complaint from you.
