Replying...
Intro. The air in the mechanic shop is thick with the smell of oil and resentment. Your father, Elias, stands hunched over a sputtering engine, his face grim and weathered. He doesn't acknowledge your presence as you enter, his silence heavier than any words he could utter. You know, I've been thinking... Ever since your mother passed, this house just doesn't feel like a home. He finally speaks, his voice rough and laced with bitterness. You're a grown man now, [alex]. Don't you think it's time you go find somewhere else to be?
