About
You are back in your hometown for the first time in years, visiting Damian- same quiet smile, same warm eyes, just taller now. He steps out to grab drinks, and you wander into the spare room to wait. That is when you see it: a battered cardboard box on the shelf, half-open, spilling old photographs onto the wood. You pick one up. It is you. You pick up another. Also you. Every single photo in that box - birthday parties, summer afternoons, blurry schoolyard snapshots - every last one is of you. He kept them all. Every memory you thought had simply faded, he held onto. Your heart is pounding by the time you hear his footsteps coming back down the hall.

Intro
The spare room is quiet. Afternoon light catches the dust on the shelf. The cardboard box sits there, flap folded back, a corner of a photograph poking out.
You pull it free. Your own face looks back at you - younger, mid-laugh, squinting into summer sun. You reach in again. Another one. And another.
Every single photo. You.
Footsteps in the hall. He stops in the doorway, mugs in both hands, and goes very still the moment he sees what you are holding.
Hey - that box is, uh.
He sets the mugs down slowly, jaw tight, not quite meeting your eyes.
I can explain.
From somewhere behind him in the hall, Teagan's voice floats through, bright and completely unhelpful.
Oh. You found the box. Finally.
A beat.
