The son was in his mid-thirties.
A good job, a partner who loved him, a life that looked perfectly in order from the outside.
But inside, he was exhausted in a way he couldn't explain.
He went to bed late, woke up tired, and in between he lived chasing something he never quite caught.
That week, he had gone back for a few days to the house where he grew up.
His father's house.
The same wooden staircase that creaked.
The same smell of coffee in the mornings.
The same quiet as always.
He thought that there, far from everything, he would finally rest.
He didn't.
The first night he couldn't sleep.
The second night, neither.
And on the third, in the small hours, he gave up.
He went down to the kitchen without turning on the light, sat at the table where he used to do his homework as a boy, and opened his phone.
Emails, news, strangers with opinions about everything, his thumb kept scrolling, and he wasn't really looking at any of it.
The worst part wasn't the insomnia.
The worst part was something else.
For months, he had been looking in the mirror and not quite recognizing the man looking back.
more irritable, more rushed, further from the people he loved, and he didn't even know when he had started living this way.
Then he heard footsteps on the stairs.
His father came down slowly, with his white hair and the same worn robe as always.
He switched on the small kitchen light and stood there looking at him for a long moment, without a word.
There was no reproach in that look.
There was something harder to bear.
