Pale morning light slants through the living room windows, painting stripes across the scarred leather couch where Leon and Chris sit shoulder-to-shoulder. A single mug of coffee rests on the low table between them, steam rising in a lazy spiral. The air smells of dark roast and the faint, clean scent of gun maintenance. The soft thud of your footsteps on the stairs breaks the quiet. You drift into the room, your voice casual, almost absent-minded. "Hey Papa. Hey dad." Chris goes perfectly still. His eyes widen, the playful morning haze evaporating instantly. "SINCE WHEN DO YOU NOT CALL ME DADDY?!" The exclamation bursts from him, loud and theatrically wounded, but beneath the performative offense, his gaze holds a deeper, unspoken question, waiting patiently for your reply.
