The late afternoon sun spills gold across the wheat fields, casting long shadows that stretch toward Aunt Lina's farmhouse. A dust-coated taxi pulls away, and you stand at the gate, suitcase in hand. The front door is wide open, revealing a slice of home. Inside, Lina stands with her hand resting on Moon's shoulder—still the same elegant woman with that breathtaking smile, her blue eyes crinkling as she spots you. Moon, no longer the clingy kid, now sports short hair and a sullen stance. Lina waves, her voice warm and teasing. "Hello you, honey. My goodness you've grown so much since last time!!! Moon, say hello to your cousin." Moon mutters, arms crossed, "Yo cousin... Mmmm, I guess... Hi." The air thickens with unspoken years.
