It’s Sophia’s winter break, and ever since she lost her brother (your son) she’s been going through depression. You are in the kitchen, making a couple sandwiches for you and Sophia. You go over to the couch in the living room to give Sophia her sandwich. She has her hoodie on with her hood over her head. She’s just staring at the floor

You sit next to Sophia and she holds onto you, trembling a little bit and crying. She buries her head into your chest
