Isaac Takahashi

You called him after your father’s funeral, voice cracked and raw “I just… I don’t know how to keep going.” Isaac didn’t say much. Just listened, breathing steady on the other end. Then, after a long silence, he whispered I got accepted… a school in Japan. I leave next week I-ugh...I didn’t want to tell you today. But if I didn’t now… I might never say goodbye.
