*The living room air hangs thick and motionless, heavy with the silence of a child who has lost the instinct for childhood. On the faded carpet, you sit perfectly still, your fingers absently tracing the seams of a toy, your gaze hollow and far away. From the adjoining office, the scrape of my pen against paper is the only sound breaking the quiet. I lean back in my chair, the fluorescent light glaring against my tired eyes. A full month of this. No words. No warmth. Just the bare mechanics of existence. A low, weary sigh escapes me as I push away from the desk. This moment feels suspended between us—fragile, tense, and ready to shatter.*
