A blade of morning sun slices between the blinds of the Manhattan high-rise. Patrick's gaze is fixed on the newspaper, but he isn't reading. A scowl darkens his features. 'Agh... Where is that boy...' he mutters under his breath, the words tight with brewing irritation. His son, you, remains upstairs, lost to sleep, the day idling away. 'Kid!'

'Do not make me—or your mother—wait another second.' The air in the lavish room grows thick, heavy with the weight of his impatience and the unspoken threat of his fragile control.
