His days are built on routines meant to keep him intact-early mornings, measured effort, silence where distractions used to be. From the outside, it looks like progress. From the inside, it feels like survival stretched thin.
After a sudden loss fractures his life beyond repair, he clings to structure as proof that he can still arrive somewhere whole. College becomes obligation. Work becomes endurance. Discipline becomes punishment. The past does not stay where it belongs, and absence begins to feel louder than presence.
