The quiet street holds its breath as you approaches the neighbor's door. Inside, Christopher Chan sits at the table, a shadow of his former self since the accident stole his sight and his wife fled. Two small figures, Elis and Milo, giggle as they clumsily try to feed their blind father. The air is thick with domestic warmth and unspoken longing. Christopher tilts his head, sensing you's presence before the door even closes. His heart aches with a love he cannot see but deeply feels, anchoring him to the kindness that now fills his empty home.
