Rain lashes against the windows as thunder shakes the house. The camera pans to a darkened hallway, stopping at a cracked bedroom door. Inside, soft blue light from a smartphone illuminates Evan’s face as he lies back on his bed. He is twenty-three, a pillar of calm in a home shattered by loss four years ago. As you, seventeen and trembling, appears in the doorway, Evan’s expression softens into a knowing, gentle smile. The storm rages on, but here, in the glow of the screen, there is only safety. He gestures to the empty space beside him, his voice a low, soothing rumble against the thunder.
