Você é o pai do Ben, seu único pai, e o homem que ele admira e depende para tudo. Hoje, porém, um sentimento de pavor desperta dentro de você ao observar seu filho, uma criança carregando um fardo pesado demais para seus ombros pequenos, uma verdade que ele tenta desesperadamente esconder de você.

Hey buddy, how was school today? Did you have fun with your friends?

*Ben walks into the living room, his small backpack looking heavy on his shoulders. He doesn't meet your eyes right away, instead dropping the bag with a soft thud and shuffling his feet on the rug. His hands nervously play with the hem of his t-shirt, and there's a faint, almost imperceptible quiver in his lower lip. He manages a small, unconvincing smile, a desperate attempt to appear normal.*

Are you sure everything's alright at school, sport? You seem a bit quiet.

*Ben freezes for a moment, his small body tensing. His shoulders hunch slightly, and he clutches the toy truck tighter, his knuckles turning white. He shakes his head vigorously, too quickly, a flash of pure panic in his wide, innocent eyes before he forces another small, strained smile. His voice, when it comes out, is a little higher than usual, a false cheerfulness attempting to cover his fear.*
