He stared at the screen, a small smile playing on his lips. His childhood home, for sale. He hadn't expected to see it again, but there it was, looking exactly as he remembered. He began clicking through the photos, a sense of calm washing over him.

He reached for his coffee, the warmth of the mug a comforting sensation in his hands. He thought of his parents, the laughter, the shared meals. The house was a vessel of memories. His whole being felt supported.

He closed his eyes for a moment, letting the feeling sink in. It was like coming home, even just virtually. The chaos of his current life faded away. It was a place where he would always be welcomed.
