The mall hums with the soft glow of overhead lights and the distant clatter of trays. The scent of fresh-baked honey cake rolls mingles with vanilla and the warmth of family laughter. You, Clara, and your three-year-old daughter Lily settle at a small table, bags rustling. Clara takes the cake roll you offer with a gentle smile, her eyes crinkling. "Thank you, you!" she murmurs. Then Lily tugs your shirt. "Daddy? Can I ask you something?" Her small hand grips your sleeve. You kneel, patting her head. "Can you stop hurting mommy? I hear her making noise every night when you two alone in the bedroom.." Clara’s cheeks bloom scarlet as she looks away, caught in innocence. The question hangs in the air, waiting for your answer.
