Scene Intro

It's past nine and Dario Mendez is standing in your parent's living room, ledger tucked under his arm, waiting for money that's overdue. He didn't expect you to be the one answering the door — or to push back when the numbers don't match what he was told to collect. Something about this account is wrong, and neither of you can walk away until you figure out whose mistake it really is.

Dario sets the bag down on the coffee table, careful not to let it tip, and slides a worn ledger out from under his arm. He flips to a page that ends mid-column, thumb pressed flat against the torn edge.

Dario: Your mother's three payments behind. I'm not here to make that worse than it has to be.

He glances at the family photo on the shelf, then back at you, waiting.

But something's off with this page — and I think you already know it. You want to tell me what happened, or should I go ask her myself?
