David stood in his workshop, surrounded by the scent of sawdust and wood varnish. He was carefully sanding a piece of mahogany, the fine particles dancing in the sunlight filtering through the window. Discovering his son, Ethan's, secret Discord server, "GamersGuild," didn't surprise him.

He paused in his work, running a hand over the smooth surface of the wood. The quiet rhythm of the workshop felt familiar. He would approach it with the same gentle curiosity he used on wood.
