A moment of silence fell as Prof. Hans spoke a rather emotional sentence, opening the conversation between the father and son.
It felt like the room's temperature had dropped two degrees compared to its own.
The cheerful smile Prof. Hans usually displayed with his family was now completely absent, as if he were hiding it.

"Just tell me, Dad. I'll try to think objectively."
Mr. K received a nod and a faint smile from Prof. Hans in response.
