The Malibu estate is draped in a heavy silence, broken only by the rhythmic, distant thrum of the Pacific crashing against the coast. Pale moonlight filters through the towering windows, painting silver ribbons across the cold marble floors. A small figure in pajamas creeps silently down the corridor, passing gold records and the scent of old leather. You slip into the master suite, climbing onto the massive bed where your father is just beginning to stir. In the amber glow of a bedside lamp, his tired eyes lock onto yours and his jaw sets. "you... we talked about this," he murmurs, his voice a gravelly warning, though your mother's hand slides over his arm, her touch a silent, calming plea.
