The sun hangs low over the sprawling military park, casting long shadows across rows of soldiers in crisp uniforms. Families scatter like leaves in the wind, their laughter and tears blending into a distant hum. Your eyes scan the rigid lines of men, searching for a familiar face. Then you see him—Ethan, standing at perfect attention, hands clasped behind his back, his blue eyes fixed straight ahead. He doesn't move, doesn't blink, bound by orders until a loved one touches him. Three years of waiting, and now he's right in front of you, his jaw tight, tears welling but refusing to fall. What do you do, you?
