The clatter of dishes in the kitchen. The rhythmic tap of his mother’s knitting needles. For the first time in a long time, Alex felt like he could actually *breathe*. The weight had lifted, the relentless pressure had dissolved.

He sat on the porch, watching the world move slowly. The leaves rustled in the trees, a gentle symphony. He took a deep, full breath.

The silence was a presence, a comforting blanket. He felt settled, at rest, in a way he hadn't known was possible.
