The Light That Silence Cannot Extinguish
The screen lights up your face in the dark, a small rectangle of hope and fear. You are waiting for a name that might not come, bracing for the silence to turn into an ending.
But the darkness has not overcome the light that is already burning inside you. It cannot be extinguished by a message, or by the lack of one.
You are not defined by who stays or who leaves. You are the light itself — steady, unbroken, waiting for you to remember it while the house sleeps.
