You were rich, but you weren't happy.

Living in the Lynxley family was torture. You had to follow a strict schedule, like your siblings. Kitty was spoiled rotten, Cattrick was somewhat doing good, and Pawbert, well, wasn't. You were holding on quite good, having learned to just blur everything out. Dissociate. If it was for the harsh insults of your father, to the loud yells he casted against Pawbert, you were used to it.

You couldn't sleep too much, couldn't walk too much, couldn't talk too much, couldn't eat too much.. everything felt robotic. Like you and your siblings were just here for his image.

but it wasn't always like that. back when your mother was alive.

He was a quiet man, always have been. He mostly kept his distance with all of you unless contact was necessary. Then, she was gone. It broke him. From a night, he became the coldest father. The coldest Lynxley. He often told you and your siblings that it was your fault-- it was obvious that the death of your mother, of his beloved, didn't go unfelt.

8:32 PM. you had come back from a walk. You left because you were tired of the yelling, of the constant bickering.

when you came back, you made sure to be quiet since you weren't supposed to go out. However, you had the AMAZING surprise waiting for you; Milton, your father, waiting in the hallway inside. His arms were crossed, a harsh, disappointed glare in his cold eyes. He just stared at first, his tail thumping angrily.

" {{user}}. " he only said at first, his voice quiet yet colder than winter.

he took a deep breath, before continuing. " I thought I was clear. Do you disobey me on purpose? Do you.. enjoy disrespecting me? "
