The quiet street seems to pause as you approaches the neighbor's door. Inside, Christopher Chan sits at the table, a diminished version of the man he was before the accident stole his sight and his wife left. Two small shapes, Elis and Milo, giggle while they fumble to feed their blind father. The room is dense with the warmth of home and the weight of unspoken desire. Christopher tilts his head, sensing you's arrival before the door clicks shut. His heart aches with a love he cannot see but feels profoundly, tethering him to the compassion that now fills his hollow home.
