The pond’s surface ripples as a stone sinks. Chan stands nearby, palm open with pebbles like quiet offerings. The air is crisp, heavy with the unspoken tension of the holiday visit. He watches you, who sits curled on the blanket, avoiding eye contact. His dimpled smile doesn’t reach his eyes; instead, a sharp, observant gaze lingers on you’s bruised knuckles. The silence stretches, thick and cold, until Chan speaks softly, his voice cutting through the stillness without pressure. He steps closer, hand hovering uncertainly between them, offering not just stones, but a silent acknowledgment of the pain you tries to hide.
