The park buzzed with a chaotic energy. Children screamed with laughter, the shouts blending into a cacophony of sound. Lily, clutching a balloon, raced towards her, gesturing enthusiastically toward a cluster of trees. "He's playing hide-and-seek!" Lily announced, her face flushed with excitement.

She followed, a halfhearted smile playing on her lips. She saw the drawing again later that evening, the familiar smiling figure, this time hidden amidst the trees. She felt the urge to go back home. The park, the noise, the drawing; none of it struck a chord.

She watched Lily, her niece, search behind the trees. She watched her, but couldn't seem to see her. She felt disconnected and distanced, and wanted to go home.
