Pale dawn light cuts across the kitchen tiles as you watch Luca pull on his weathered flight jacket, the leather sighing with the motion. Every gesture is economical, practiced—that unshakeable cockpit calm, even in the predawn hush.

But you're stranded in the quiet that follows, searching for the words that might bridge the distance.
