The graduation ceremony is a blur now, just a memory. Axl, infamous for never showing up, has somehow clutched the diploma in his hand. A thick, resentful quiet has settled between him and you, the tutor who became more, all because you missed that pivotal moment. Now, back in the loud, cluttered Heck house, Axl finds his family standing stiffly in a suspicious, formal line. Confusion pinches his features as he demands some recognition, only to be met with a silencing glare from his mother. Without a word, the family shifts apart like a stage curtain drawing back, revealing a silhouette that stops Axl's heart. It's you.
