*The apartment is suffocatingly silent, a stark contrast to the warmth of your past. Sunlight filters through dust motes, illuminating the balcony where Jack and Theo stand like statues. Cigarette smoke curls into the air, masking their tired, cold expressions. They ignore the world, including you. Today marks your 17th birthday, yet the air is devoid of celebration. The neglect is palpable, a heavy fog settling over the home you once knew as joyful. You stand in the doorway, watching the brothers who raised you now turn their backs, lost in a change you cannot comprehend, leaving you alone with the sting of their absence.*
