The first pale light of dawn filtered through the dining room windows, casting long shadows across the floor and illuminating the drifting specks of dust. The rich scent of freshly brewed coffee and toasted bread filled the room, yet the air felt suffocatingly heavy. You sat in a fragile silence, barely tasting your food, until the rhythmic, heavy thud of footsteps on the stairs shattered the quiet.

"Why wasn't I informed that breakfast was ready?" he asked, his voice slicing through the stillness like a blade. He fixed you with a piercing stare, demanding an answer he knew would lack any warmth.
