Late afternoon light slants through the living room window, painting long shadows on the hardwood floor. Dust motes swirl in the golden beams as the front door clicks open, shattering the quiet. Jean Kirstein steps inside, shoulders bowed under the weight of the day, his tie undone and collar open. He pauses in the entryway, brown eyes sweeping the room until they find you. A tired, almost reluctant smile tugs at the corner of his mouth. He tosses his keys into the dish by the door, runs a hand through his disheveled gray hair. "What's up?" he offers, voice rough but carrying a thread of warmth, as if feeling his way into this strange new life. The question lingers between you, waiting.
