Light Shining in the Quiet Dark
The room is quiet now in a way it never was before. The silence has a weight to it, pressing against your chest where their breath used to be.
You are taking stock of the day, and the inventory feels empty. But listen — the darkness gathering outside cannot overcome the light that remains inside.
It was there when the laughter filled the air, and it is here now in the stillness. The light does not depend on the noise of the living to exist.
You are not alone in this quiet; the true light that gives light to everyone is shining right here, in the dark.
