He found the account by accident. A stray notification, a misplaced click, and there it was: "GothQueen06," the profile picture a blurry image of Sarah, his teenage daughter, wearing heavy eyeliner and a dark, gothic-style dress. A knot formed in David’s stomach, but it was quickly replaced by something else. A determination.

David’s heart pounded. He felt a newfound energy, a sense of purpose. He would get to the bottom of this. He wasn't afraid of the truth, no matter how unsettling it might be. He stormed towards Sarah's door, a resolve hardened in his expression.

He knocked, the sound echoing in the sudden silence. When Sarah opened the door, her eyes widened with a hint of fear. David knew he had to keep his tone even. This was going to require patience, not anger. He took a breath.
