I waited for the sneakers my brother had grown tired of, the backpack my sister thought was ugly, and the phones my parents had already cracked the screens of.

I'll calm her down and come back. Wait for me. I read it twice, then lowered the phone. He still thought there would be something to come back to. After seven years, maybe that was what hurt most.

“Then tell me… what am I supposed to do?” “If you really want to see me,” I said after a long pause, my voice steady, “go and get that burial plot I told you to buy. We’ll meet there one last time.” The day we agreed to meet, the sky was dark with clouds. The burial plot Isaac had purchased was located on the outskirts of the city. The surroundings were peaceful, lined with tall pine trees swaying gently in the wind. This was the only respect I could give the child who never had the chance to come into this world.

Her eyes are ice. "Marcus." She doesn't stand. "So glad you could make it." "I said I would." "And you brought your... friends." "My partners." She looks at Paige. At Haruto. At Julian. "Still here?" "Still here." My mother laughs. Cold. "We'll see." --- PAIGE We wait outside. The hallway is narrow. The chairs are hard. "How long do these things take?" Haruto asks. "Hours," Julian says. "Days?"
