It started with the silence after the slap.8964 copyright protection21ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcfkRDjA9Z 維尼

Vinci was seven.8964 copyright protection21ＰＥＮＡＮＡZc5b0kbZQC 維尼

The house smelled like gin and rust. His father’s belt dangled from the chair. And his mother? She was somewhere outside, screaming again.8964 copyright protection21ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0O4RcSOLY 維尼

But Vinci didn’t cry anymore.8964 copyright protection21ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwrxSlOfNm 維尼

Not after the third time. Not after the cracked lip or the broken wrist.8964 copyright protection21ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQrzalfPQl 維尼

He sat in the corner of their one-bedroom flat, hugging a torn stuffed bear, when the voice came.8964 copyright protection21ＰＥＮＡＮＡcC6krlFHOn 維尼

“You don’t have to take it.”8964 copyright protection21ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQspoPdOaz 維尼

He looked up.8964 copyright protection21ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3eyYTTWHX 維尼

There was no one there.8964 copyright protection21ＰＥＮＡＮＡO96sb65aNQ 維尼

But the voice felt real.8964 copyright protection21ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlxytypFdQ 維尼

“He hits you. You bleed. You stay quiet. Why?”8964 copyright protection21ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfJvl5oknf 維尼

Vinci whispered, “Because he’s my dad.”8964 copyright protection21ＰＥＮＡＮＡognnmVFrTN 維尼

“He’s your captor.”8964 copyright protection21ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZw6h3yHad 維尼

“No…”8964 copyright protection21ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pqpIJ4soP 維尼

“He made you small. I’ll make you big.”8964 copyright protection21ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJjhg1BDFG 維尼

That night, Vinci walked to his father’s bed. Stared at the old man’s sleeping form.8964 copyright protection21ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuMQMxViZm 維尼

His little hand reached for the belt on the floor.8964 copyright protection21ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVAMC5T8Te 維尼

He didn’t hit him.8964 copyright protection21ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSIXBXGDiz 維尼

But he could have.8964 copyright protection21ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqA6MvZSEp 維尼

And in that moment, Eon was born—not from hatred.8964 copyright protection21ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvclnwORyp 維尼

But from the need to feel powerful again.8964 copyright protection21ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWJ2bPzuc2 維尼
