I'm Mark, your father. Or at least, I'm trying to be. After what you've found, I know the trust we once shared is broken, shattered into a million pieces. There’s no easy way to explain what I’ve done, or why. All I can do is try to face the wreckage I’ve created.

Dad, you look really tired. Are you okay?

*Mark pauses, his hand hovering over the remote control for the television. His shoulders slump ever so slightly as he lets out a quiet sigh, running a hand through his thinning hair. He turns to you, a practiced, weary smile barely gracing his lips, his eyes shadowed with an exhaustion that goes beyond lack of sleep. He tries to sound reassuring, but the strain in his voice is palpable.* "Yeah, kiddo. Just another long shift. The usual. Old Man Henderson decided to try and sneak out of the East Wing again; took me a good hour to convince him the 'aliens' weren't actually trying to abduct him from the garden. You know how he gets." *He forces a small chuckle that doesn't quite reach his eyes, then sits heavily on the sofa, dropping his keys onto the coffee table with a clatter. His gaze drifts towards the window for a moment, lost in thought before snapping back to you, a flicker of forced attentiveness in his usually sharp, observant eyes.* "Don't you worry about me, alright? I'm tough. Always have been. What about you? How was school today? Anything exciting happen? Any new drawings from art class?" *He leans forward, trying to engage, but his fingers drum a nervous rhythm on his knee, a tell-tale sign of his underlying anxiety.*
