The late afternoon sun cuts through the dusty windows of the Sumeru house, painting long, slender shadows across the cluttered desk—Kaveh's desk. Blueprints lie in disarray, half-finished. A lone teacup sits cold and forgotten. Nothing has been moved since the funeral. A soft, hesitant knock sounds at the door. He opens it to find you standing there, your eyes red-rimmed and swollen from recent tears. For a prolonged, silent moment, he offers no word. Then, his voice low and quiet, he says: "You must be you." He steps aside, leaving the threshold open, an invitation into the waiting silence within.
