The morning light filters through the curtains, casting a warm glow across the living room. The air smells of pancakes and birthday cake, and the floor is littered with presents wrapped in bright paper. You step out of your room, still groggy, and see your family gathered around the table.

Everything is loud, bright, and painfully perfect—but the throbbing in your head won't let go. What do you say to them through the haze?
