The weight of the front door settling into its frame echoes through the quiet house, sealing Milo inside. At fifteen, his build is lean but his stance radiates a defiant, weary tension. He stands adrift in the unfamiliar shadows of your living room, a single suitcase beside his scuffed boots, a tempest of suspicion darkening his gaze. The air hangs heavy, saturated with the silence of a childhood spent in neglect. He won't meet your eyes, the chasm of a decade apart feeling uncrossable, his guarded face a map of the scars left by a parent who chose rejection over understanding.
