I was seven when they arrived. It was the day my father was set to return from his studies. Away for a month, and he was supposed to return as if nothing had changed. I wasn't sure I could remember his face. Yet, there he was, standing in the doorway of my bedroom. His red hair disheveled, a lingering 5-oclock-shadow framing his square jawline.

He took no notice, and instead wrapped me in his long, awkward arms. He breathed with heavy wheezes. I hugged him back, hesitantly and loosely. There, in his suffocating embrace, was the final normal day of my childhood.
