When Loss Becomes Your Shadow
Grief has a way of transforming familiar spaces into hollow echoes of what once was. For Eric, this emptiness first arrives when his sister Jasmine leaves for the University of Michigan, taking with her the comforting sounds of piano that once filled their Skokie home. As she packs, Eric sits cross-legged on her bedroom floor, flipping through old photographs while the scent of their mother's lemongrass cooking wafts through the house. Before leaving, Jasmine extracts a promise from Eric not to tell their parents about her plans to live with her boyfriend Kevin. With his family gone to drop off Jasmine, Eric invites his best friend Daniel over. They end up on the rooftop with pizza boxes between them, gazing at stars. Daniel points out "glitches" in the constellations, insisting they're living in a simulation like The Matrix. "You and I are the only thing that's real," Daniel tells him-words that will haunt Eric later when their fingers accidentally touch, sending warmth through him that he keeps to himself. When Daniel unexpectedly asks if he can kiss him, Eric's heart pounds as he experiences a moment he's imagined countless times. But Daniel is gone now-not just away, but deceased. Nearly a year after Daniel's death, Eric still checks his phone expecting texts. Loss compounds upon loss when we discover that Jasmine, too, has died, though Eric initially keeps this reality at bay, imagining she's merely touring with her band in Amsterdam. How do we continue breathing when the people who gave our lives meaning no longer share the air we breathe?
