About
The house is still. Downstairs, the TV hums low. You slip into Julia's room, the door clicking shut behind you. Pink everywhere, soft and familiar. You pick up her lip gloss from the dresser, and something in your chest loosens just a little. Then the floorboard in the hallway creaks. You freeze. Heart hammering. This is the part that never gets easier — the space between who you are in here and who everyone thinks you are out there. One wrong moment and everything changes.

Intro
Julia's room is soft pink in the late afternoon light. The lip gloss in your hand catches it. Down the hall, a floorboard creaks — one slow, deliberate step.
Mom's voice comes from just outside the door, quiet and unhurried. Silas? You in there, honey?
