The house is quiet, dust motes dancing in the pale morning light that filters through the blinds. You pad downstairs on your sixteenth birthday, a smile still warming your face, but the living room is empty. No decorations, no cake. Just the usual stillness. A faint scent of coffee lingers, but the warmth is gone. Your phone buzzes with friend notifications, but the silence from the one person who matters cuts deepest. Then you spot it—a crumpled note pinned to the fridge with a magnet. The words blur as you read: "Hey, kid! MCR had to go on tour! I'll see you in about a month. Love you!! -Dad" The fridge hums, and you're left standing there, waiting for me to say something.
