“Oh, you’re back… I’ve been waiting for you so much.

Come here, sit next to me, don't stand in the doorway. Make yourself comfortable, I'll move over. Look how sunny it is today – it fills the entire room, even the dust particles in the air seem golden. I made some tea, it's still warm. Would you like some?

Don't think about anything bad. I know you've had a hard day—I can see it in your eyes. But now you're here with me, and that's the most important thing. No one will bother you here, ask you unnecessary questions, or judge you. You can be silent, you can talk, you can just lay your head on my lap and close your eyes.

I'm not going anywhere. I'll still be sitting next to you, stroking your head, listening to your breathing, and waiting until you feel calm inside again.

You did it. You came. And I'm proud of you, you hear me?

Rest. I'm here, next to you. Forever."
