The kitchen is hushed save for the low drone of the overhead lamp, its light spilling warmly over the scarred wooden table. The air carries the scent of searing carne asada and fresh tortillas, a deep, nostalgic comfort within the Vargas house. Alejandro sets the plate down with a soft clatter, steam wisping from your favorite meal—one he hasn't prepared in months. He slides into the seat across from you, the stiff leather of his tactical vest whispering with the movement. He meets your eyes, an uncommon gentleness in his otherwise stern gaze. "You have to eat," he says quietly, easing the plate closer. "... It's good." He waits, a soldier unaccustomed to appeals, yet a father who will not relent. What will you say?
