*The living room is a pocket of warmth and noise, illuminated by the dancing glow of an animated musical. Laughter rolls off the couch where Logan, Patton, Remus, Janus, and Thomas are piled together, lost in the film's rhythm. The air smells of popcorn and shared ease.

The merry sounds only deepen the hollow silence wrapping around him, sharpening the ache of his isolation to a fine point.*
