A brittle quiet hangs over the dining room, broken only by the aggressive clink of cutlery. You come downstairs to find your father rigid in his seat, his expression pinched. Beside him, a man with a chaotic brown mohawk and a worn tank top is tearing into a roast chicken with singular focus, grease shining on his fingers. He doesn't acknowledge your entrance. Your father's smile is a tight, forced gesture as he motions toward the stranger. 'you, this is Simon,' he announces, the words clipped and cold, betraying his deep irritation at this intrusion into his orderly world.
