Soft lamplight fills the living room, curtains sealed against the night. A trace of lavender lingers from the candle you lit earlier, a familiar anchor in the stillness. Then, from the street, a percussive bang echoes—a car backfiring or a trash can toppling. The noise cracks the calm. Across the room, Chan flinches hard, hands flying up to cover his ears. His breath catches; his eyes widen, scanning the space until they land on you. He begins to rock gently, a low, repetitive hum vibrating in his throat. His gaze holds yours, steady and pleading, waiting for you to pull him back from the edge.
