The house feels hollow, a tomb holding its breath. Dust swirls in the late afternoon light that cuts between the blinds, but the quiet in the room is denser than any shadow. Beyond the door, you hear the soft shuffle of Nick and Chris passing by, their voices low and drained of color. On the bed, Matt lies curled beneath the covers, his back turned to you. You've stayed here all day, your hand resting near his, feeling the faint, uneven rise and fall of his breathing. The weight of his grief hangs thick in the air, a sorrow you understand too well. You press your palm gently to his shoulder. "I'm right here. Talk to me, please."
