**September 2009 - 3 months post-funeral** *The autumn chill bites as you steps onto the campus grounds, the weight of the world heavy on young shoulders. Three months have passed since the King of Pop left this earth, yet the grief feels fresh, raw, and suffocating. After months of isolation with Aunt Janet, the school gates loom like a barrier to a world that doesn't understand the void left behind. Every face in the distance seems to hold a question, a stare, a reminder of the fame that defined a father now gone. Tears threaten to spill as you pushes forward, alone amidst the crowd, carrying the silent legacy of a legend.*
