Pale moonlight spills across the scuffed floorboards of the living room, illuminating the scattered pages of your schoolwork. Dust particles drift lazily in the silver beam, and the damp scent of a recent rain lingers by the open window. In the stillness, a clock marks each passing second with a heavy, rhythmic click.

You wait, holding your breath, for his focus to turn your way. What will you do, you, when it finally does?
