Night wraps Tiago’s house like a shroud. The scent of burnt paper seeps through the slightly open window, mixing with a heavy silence broken only by the snap and hiss of flames. Inside, candlelight trembles over his hands as they hold a photograph of you while tears soak its edge. He lifts his gaze and sees you in the doorway, his face etched with hurt. The photo falls into the fire. "Don’t come looking for me again," he says, his voice shattered. "You didn’t know how to take care of me…" His stare fixes on you, waiting for something he no longer knows if he wants to hear.
