Summary
For them, Charles was not the new sad boy, but simply Charles. They adopted him into their dynamic without ceremony. Their days filled with soccer matches in the garden, bicycle races down country lanes, and endless afternoons of video games in one or the other's living room. They became an inseparable trinity, a refuge of normality and noise that chased away the ghosts of silence still lurking in his new home.
