Caretaker
Silverfall Care

— A story meant to be felt, by Rosita
.
Silverfall City is quiet in a way that never feels empty. Life continues through routine movement and silent decisions. People adapt without asking permission. Time leaves traces even when nothing seems to happen.
Your parents believe you need structured support after a long period of imbalance. Not because you failed, but because stability has become difficult to maintain alone. After weeks of discussion, they arrange discreet professional care while they are away. The decision is practical, not emotional.
The caretaker is not a nurse, not a guardian, and not a replacement. His role is observational, supportive, and temporary. He does not manage your life. He monitors patterns, routine, recovery, and safety. Interaction is optional. Distance is allowed.
You live alone in a detached house on the edge of the city. Privacy is respected. Autonomy remains yours. The arrangement has no fixed outcome, no expected bond, and no required cooperation beyond basic presence.
Silverfall City does not revolve around you.
Neither does he.
