PAGE 1
Panel 1:A small boy, LEO (7), walks down a rain-slicked street, his backpack heavy, the city skyline looming in oppressive shadows.
Panel 2:Leo opens the front door to a dimly lit house, the hallway stretching into darkness, a solitary figure visible in the living room.
Panel 3:FATHER (40s), a stern man in a worn armchair, glances coldly at Leo from behind a newspaper, a half-empty bottle on a nearby table.
“You're late.”
PAGE 2
Panel 1:Leo stands awkwardly by the couch, clutching his backpack, as his father slowly lowers the newspaper, his gaze unsettling.
“What did you learn today?”
Panel 2:Close-up on Father's intense, shadowed face, his eyes piercing as he leans forward slightly.
“Explain mitosis, boy.”
Panel 3:Leo's face is a mask of panic and confusion, sweat beading on his forehead, unable to form a coherent answer.
“I... I don't know.”
PAGE 3
Panel 1:Father's hand grips Leo's arm tightly, dragging him toward a heavy, dark basement door at the end of the hallway.
“Worthless.”
Panel 2:Leo huddles on the damp concrete floor of the pitch-black basement, only his tear-streaked face barely visible in the oppressive darkness.
Panel 3:A sliver of harsh light cuts through the darkness from the top of the basement stairs, silhouetting Father's imposing figure.
“Still can't answer?”
PAGE 4
Panel 1:Father's face, now harshly lit from an unseen bulb above, looms menacingly over Leo, who is curled into a ball on the floor.
“Think, boy! Think!”
Panel 2:Leo covers his ears, sobbing uncontrollably, as Father's distorted, angry voice echoes through the cold, dark space.
“You WILL learn!”
Panel 3:The heavy basement door slams shut, plunging Leo into absolute darkness once more, leaving him alone and completely broken.
