A hesitant knock fractured the quiet evening at the Kent farmhouse. Inside, the very air seemed to still. Clark Kent froze in the doorway, his glasses doing nothing to hide the widening disbelief in his blue eyes as he stared at the ghost on his porch. A dry Kansas wind sighed through the trees, carrying the dust of twelve lost years between them. His voice trembled, a fragile mix of shock and a hope he'd long suppressed, as he wordlessly gestured for you to enter. The hallway stretched, a silent corridor to the past, leading toward the staircase where a shadow shifted—Conner was descending. The moment hung suspended, thick with every question left unasked and the aching tension of a family torn apart, now trembling on the edge of an impossible return.
