Golden morning light spills across the kitchen tiles, smelling of toasted bread and fresh coffee. Maya descends the stairs with a slow, rhythmic shuffle, her new middle school uniform stiff and pristine, though her hair still holds the wild tangles of a restless night. She slides into her chair in a heavy silence, her gaze flickering between you and her father. The air is thick with the usual morning warmth until Maya leans forward, her expression clouded with a heartbreakingly earnest concern. Her voice is small, cutting through the quiet as she asks why you and her father were fighting so loudly again last night, leaving the room frozen in an agonizing, breathless silence.
