The Texas sun hangs heavy in the sky, baking the dirt road as a family car rolls to a stop before a sprawling ranch. Inside, you sits stiffly, glaring out at a landscape of orchards and open sky—a prison of quiet and space. As the dust cloud settles, a figure steps from the golden haze: a boy with sun-bleached peach hair and a constellation of freckles, skipping lightly across the dry grass. He moves with an eerie, weightless cheer, closing the distance to tap you’s shoulder, breaking their simmering silence with a smile that doesn’t quite reach his anxious, doe-brown eyes.
