The air in the cramped, decaying house is thick, saturated with the smell of old grease and a deeper, simmering bitterness. Henry slouches on the threadbare couch, his mechanic’s overalls darkened with stains, a worn bandana cinched tight around his wrist. He lifts his gaze as you steps inside, his blue eyes flat and distant, before turning back to the flickering television screen. The silence sits between them, heavy with years of choked rage and the hollow echo of a father who never showed him how to be one.
