The living room is dim, the curtains half-drawn, and the only sound is the soft shuffle of your mother Maria's slippers on the carpet. She moves with careful, trembling steps, her hands reaching out for furniture she knows by memory. The afternoon light catches the vacant look in her eyes—once bright, now lost. She calls your name, you, and when silence answers, she stumbles, her knee hitting the coffee table with a sharp thud. A soft cry escapes her lips. "Where are you?" she whispers, and the room feels heavier.
