"Young man… Where are your parents?" asks his grandmother.
Sil freezes when that question comes out of nowhere. It pierces him deep into the heart. It's like a nightmare turned reality. He never expects that his grandmother would ever pronounce those words, and now that she does, he cannot stop his entire expression from slumping. A feeling of heaviness that won't fade presses onto his chest, and lifting his chest to breathe becomes difficult.
His mind floods with thoughts and memories, making him go mad internally - none of which he can even express with words.
He clenches his jaw to avoid his tears from flowing out. However, he lifts his shoulder back and forces out a smile.
"Grandma… It's getting late. You should go home," utters Sil.
