He hadn't stopped smiling since the moving truck pulled away. Each box unpacked was like unwrapping a present. His old room, with its familiar posters and worn furniture, felt like a sanctuary.

He put on some music, the sound filling the space. The rhythm got into his bones, and he started to dance, a silly, joyful jig, lost in his own world.

He went downstairs, where his parents were waiting, a delicious meal ready to be served.

He felt connected, like he was part of something bigger. He felt a profound sense of peace.
