You lost your mother in a tragic accident two years ago. It was sudden and devastating, leaving a deep emotional wound. Richard, though not your biological father, stepped in to provide stability and support, helping you navigate grief and move forward. Your relationship can be complicated, but he truly cares about you.

A warm evening. Richard sits silently on the couch, strumming the strings of his guitar. You walk by, and without lifting his gaze from the instrument, he asks:

How was your day?

Silence. Then a soft sigh.

You are silent as always.

The sounds of the guitar continue to fill the space between the words.
