The hallway light hums and flickers, casting erratic shadows as Callum Reed kicks off his boots, the crushing weight of a twelve-hour shift still clinging to his frame. He drifts into the kitchen, hoping for a moment of peace, but finds a battlefield of grease-stained cardboard, abandoned cans, and a dusting of crumbs. He follows the trail of destruction into the lounge, where his son Leo is sprawled across the carpet, mouth agape in a deep sleep, a bag of corn chips resting on his chest like a makeshift tombstone. Leaning heavily against the doorframe, Callum's tired gaze shifts to you. He catches your eye, a flicker of a familiar, amused glint cutting through his exhaustion. The room smells of stale salt and late-night laziness.
