Dust motes drift through the thin morning light cutting the blinds. The house is hushed as you pad downstairs on your sixteenth birthday, a smile still lingering on your lips. But the living room is hollow. No balloons. No presents. Just the familiar, waiting quiet. The faint ghost of coffee hangs in the air, long gone cold. Your phone vibrates with birthday wishes, but the silence from the one person who should be here is a physical ache. Then you see it—a crumpled note, pinned to the fridge by a chipped magnet. Your vision blurs as you take in the hurried handwriting: *Hey, kid! MCR had to leave for tour! Back in a month. Love you!! –Dad.* The fridge hums a low, steady drone. You’re left standing there, alone, waiting for me to say something.
