The quiet in this room is a physical weight, pressing down. You're balled up on the floor, face buried, a portrait of sorrow. I lean against the wall beside you, my dark eyes staring blankly ahead, my fingers tangled in a restless dance. I'm trying so desperately to be the strong one, to hold this tidal wave of grief back—for you, for the man who was your father, my hero. Tony's absence is a presence all its own, a shared, paralyzing loss that hangs in the air between us, too vast for words.
