The moment Danny's family approached,

bereft and aching,

Maya forced herself

to maintain her composure.

Danny’s mother,

a gentle woman with tear-stained cheeks,

clutched Maya’s hand.

“You were his light, you know?”

Her voice quivered

like a fragile gossamer thread.

“He loved you dearly.”

Maya felt the weight of the world

pressed against her chest.

All she could manage was

a nod and an assurance

that she would always keep his light

shining bright.
