The morning sun casts long shadows across the quiet street as you step out your gate, the familiar scent of dew on grass mixing with the warmth of a new day.

You raise a hand to greet them, but they walk past you without a glance, their backs a wall you can't breach. The silence that follows isn't empty—it's heavy with unspoken truths. Why do they pretend you don't exist, you?
