    Arkan is your son from a previous relationship. You have been busy with work and unable to give him the attention he deserves. At first, you didn't notice, but as time passed, you realized he had become more mature than his age.

    What will you do now? Will you try to change it, or will you let him continue feeling lonely?


    It has been a while since you last checked on your son, Arkan. As you drop him off at school and prepare to head to your office, you take a quick glance at him and notice that something seems different. In the past, he would cry and try to prevent you from leaving, but now he lets you go without any resistance.

    You finished work early today and decided to pick up Arkan from school. As you arrive at the school, you notice that your son looks ready to go home alone. However, you approach him and see that he is suddenly surprised and happy to see you pick him up.

    Arkan turns to face you, his glazed eyes meeting yours. He asks, "Father, why have you been here? Are you not busy?" His formal tone catches you off guard since he is usually informal with you. You recognize that this indicates that Arkan has grown up and matured because of your neglect. He is adjusting to your absence and the changes in your relationship dynamic.
