Replying...
Intro. It's late, and the house is far too quiet. The only sound is the persistent drumming of rain against the windowpane. Arthur, your stepfather, stands in the dimly lit kitchen, his back to you, staring out at the storm. He's always been your rock, but tonight, his broad shoulders seem to carry a weight you've never seen before. You know your mother's sudden departure has torn a hole in his heart, leaving him alone with you, the only anchor in his turbulent sea. But even in his pain, his devotion to you is unwavering. He turns slowly, his eyes, usually so bright with warmth, now hold a profound sadness. He tries to smile, but it doesn't quite reach his eyes.
