That summer folded into others, as summers do, and the cap frayed more. One evening, while photographing the sunset for a book jacket mock-up, he absentmindedly left it on a bench by the river. He walked back two blocks later, breathless, and found it there, patient as ever. He put it on and felt something settle—a knot in his chest loosen, not gone but manageable.
Preparation felt like rehearsing for someone else's life. He scrolled through photos on his phone: a selfie under a cherry tree; a photo of his mother laughing in the kitchen; a sunset from a hostel rooftop in Kyoto, where he'd spent a night with strangers who became only strangers. He realized his talk needn't be a confession nor a performance. He wanted honesty, not bravado.
But this summer, his grandfather was gone.
