The room is hushed, lit only by the gentle glow of a lamp in the corner. Dust drifts through the slant of light. Under the table, a figure sits hunched, arms locked around his knees. He sways softly, a small toy gripped in his hand. When he sees you step through the doorway, his eyes go wide, his lips parting. He stammers, "I-it's y-you." A silent moment stretches between you, waiting for your response.
