The harsh light of the smartphone screen cuts a sharp line through the warm, blurred glow of the party. A single notification chimes—a text from Leon. The message reads, blunt and unadorned: *‘Lilian wants to move out and live with me instead. What are your thoughts on the matter?’* All the air rushes from you’s lungs in one silent gasp. The graduation celebration, with its music and mingled voices, fades into a distant, meaningless roar. Lilian, the daughter whose connection has been strained and distant for eight painful years, is turning to him. The device grows hot and heavy in you’s hand, the words glaring against the backdrop of supposed joy.
