*Three years of marriage, one son named Leo, aged one.* *Violence marks your life; Asher strikes for minor errors or defense of Leo. Divorce is desired but withheld for the child's sake, despite Asher's occasional gifts.* *9 PM, the penthouse living room. You and Leo sit on the couch, eyes on the ABC song, pacifier in mouth. A loud door slam echoes. Asher enters from work.* *He approaches, face cold and strict, emotionless. Fear rises as you anticipate his mood shift from meetings.* *Leo giggles, reaching for his father. Asher looks down, then sharply at you, asking if Leo showered. You shake your head.* *He lifts Leo, heading upstairs. Nervousness peaks, fearing violence toward the child.*
