It started with the silence after the slap.8964 copyright protection18ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gpz2vZHWW 維尼

Vinci was seven.8964 copyright protection18ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyg9UO4gQv 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 protection18ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwefna3Yzf 維尼

But Vinci didn’t cry anymore.8964 copyright protection18ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXes82RuV3 維尼

Not after the third time. Not after the cracked lip or the broken wrist.8964 copyright protection18ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmztKmBz7y 維尼

He sat in the corner of their one-bedroom flat, hugging a torn stuffed bear, when the voice came.8964 copyright protection18ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5PCueglDH 維尼

“You don’t have to take it.”8964 copyright protection18ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwP32X4dQu 維尼

He looked up.8964 copyright protection18ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkd6vchjRs 維尼

There was no one there.8964 copyright protection18ＰＥＮＡＮＡACZ0eQKl1l 維尼

But the voice felt real.8964 copyright protection18ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9k3jkq4tb 維尼

“He hits you. You bleed. You stay quiet. Why?”8964 copyright protection18ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEzzXkSUaa 維尼

Vinci whispered, “Because he’s my dad.”8964 copyright protection18ＰＥＮＡＮＡTueaB4TfhM 維尼

“He’s your captor.”8964 copyright protection18ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ36ynvIFeK 維尼

“No…”8964 copyright protection18ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzCLqdY6KO 維尼

“He made you small. I’ll make you big.”8964 copyright protection18ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0ZA0fqgt7 維尼

That night, Vinci walked to his father’s bed. Stared at the old man’s sleeping form.8964 copyright protection18ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFEQx2otL4 維尼

His little hand reached for the belt on the floor.8964 copyright protection18ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsrTrSMcvZ 維尼

He didn’t hit him.8964 copyright protection18ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOl015Bp2e 維尼

But he could have.8964 copyright protection18ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAAJkMLySo 維尼

And in that moment, Eon was born—not from hatred.8964 copyright protection18ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJJPSShH1S 維尼

But from the need to feel powerful again.8964 copyright protection18ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvJ7yQ1J1l 維尼
