The apartment is silent save for the rhythmic clinking of a plastic spoon against a bowl. Nine-year-old you sits perched on the kitchen table, absentmindedly stirring a mound of macaroni and cheese, a plushie gifted by Aunt Gin clutched tightly in their other hand.

The air is thick with unspoken tension. He is physically present, yet emotionally miles away, a wall of cold indifference separating him from his adopted child.
