School.
Friends.
Art.
Music.
Games.
Not security.
Not criminals.
Not secrets.
I told Elena:
“She doesn't need to know everything.”
Elena smiled.
“She already knows more than we do.”
I laughed.
Sophia started school.
She drew constantly.
Teachers called it imagination.
I knew better.
She noticed everything.
But I wanted her to draw dragons.
Not murder plans.
So I encouraged her.
Her drawings became brighter.
Flowers.
Animals.
Houses.
Families.
One picture showed four people at a table.
Me.
Elena.
Sophia.
And an empty chair.
I pointed.
“Who's missing?”
She smiled.
“Someone.”
“Who?”
“A future person.”
I laughed.
She shrugged.
“Maybe.”
It was the first time I imagined a future beyond surviving.
Not just an empire.
May you like
A family.
A life.
