The scent of lavender wafted from the diffuser as Daniel laid on the couch, watching clouds drift by the open window. It was an overcast day, but the room felt filled with a gentle light. The information from his father, about joining a specific sect, was something he'd deal with later.

He took a slow, deep breath, relishing the scent. The gentle breeze, the quiet in the apartment – all of it filled him with a quiet joy. He had been feeling tense, but now, he seemed to find a sense of peace.

He closed his eyes.
