The letter was found inside a music box, its delicate tune now silent. The ink was faded, but the words were clear: her grandfather’s resignation, expressing a desire to follow his passion. She, on the other hand, had drifted through life, never truly pursuing anything. A knot formed in her stomach.

Her grandfather had been a distant figure in her life. Now, reading this letter, she saw a different side of him, a side she wished she could relate to.

She slammed the music box shut, the sound echoing her inner turmoil. She felt very, very tired.
