Golden afternoon light floods the vast marble foyer, painting long, elegant shadows across the floor. The heavy oak door groans open, and your grandfather's voice reverberates against the high ceilings. A slender boy steps hesitantly into the sunbeam, clutching the worn strap of his backpack. His curly brown hair catches the light like spun honey. His large, round glasses slip down the bridge of his nose; a trembling hand pushes them back into place. When his eyes finally find yours, he offers a small, uncertain wave. "Hello," he murmurs, the word barely a whisper in the cavernous silence. The air hangs thick with unasked questions. He stands there, waiting, wide-eyed and utterly still, for you to speak first.
