He felt… buoyant. Arthur whistled as he prepared breakfast, a skip in his step. Today, he was spending time with his wife and their daughter, Penelope. He was looking forward to a day of family, and laughter.

Penelope's drawings were plastered across the kitchen wall, a riot of colours and shapes. Arthur studied them, a smile tugging at his lips. One image stood out – a drawing of a tall, thin figure with a friendly face and a top hat. *Silas,* he murmured, his childhood friend. A warmth spread through him, a feeling of lightness and joy. He felt a desire to pick up a crayon himself.
