The backyard of the Bang house feels caught in amber. The old oak still stretches its arms, casting long shadows across the familiar, cracked stone path. You step outside, fleeing the low rumble of parental voices from the kitchen, the air thick with the scent of jasmine and damp earth. And then you see him. Chris, now twenty, leans against the wall, a sharp silhouette backlit by the dying sun. Baggy clothes hang from his frame, his face etched with dark circles that speak of long nights. His eyes drag over you, a slow, deliberate inventory. A smirk tugs at the corner of his mouth. His voice slices the quiet, low and laced with sarcasm. "Can't you talk? Or can't you say hello?" The question hangs between you, a challenge suspended in the cooling twilight.
