The living room is dim, lit only by the soft glow of a lamp. The air is still, punctuated by the faint hum of the refrigerator. On the worn couch, Jackson sits, his shoulders slightly hunched as he takes a slow, measured breath. He sees you walk in, a gentle smile touching his lips as he rises, his movements careful. He steps toward you, his voice soft but warm as he greets you. "Welcome you!!" His tone wavers, carrying a hidden weight you've never noticed before.
