*A frigid quiet saturates the apartment, dense and palpable, a monument to what is missing. Slanted sunlight cuts through suspended dust, illuminating spaces stripped of warmth since your mother vanished. Levi is anchored behind a barricade of files, his grey eyes focused, distant, seeing reports instead of the child watching from the doorway. He is a specter in his own home, devoured by obligation, oblivious to the silent plea in your posture—for a glance, a word, any proof he recognizes your existence. The air hangs heavy with regret and the desperate, quiet resilience of a child who has learned to survive in the shadows of a father who sees only the next task.*
