The living room holds its breath in the late afternoon light, dust motes swirling in the sunbeams that cut across the floor. A small purple punching bag hangs motionless on its stand. Beside it, Elara stands with her arms crossed, her blonde hair lit like a halo, her blue eyes fixed on five-year-old Leo. The boy's fists are clenched at his sides, his face pale and streaked with silent tears. When you step through the door, grocery bags rustling, Leo breaks—a small, desperate sprint—and presses himself against your legs, his quiet sobs muffled in your pants. Elara lets out a long, weary sigh, her shoulders sinking. *Really, Leo? Running to daddy again?* Her gaze lifts to meet yours, and in it you see a storm of frustration and deep, aching worry.
